*
Now there was a certain rich man ,
and he was clothed in purple and fine linen ,
faring sumptuously every day :
*
and a certain beggar named Lazarus was laid at his gate ,
full of sores ,
*
and desiring to be fed with the [
crumbs ]
that fell from the rich man '
s table ;
yes ,
even the dogs came and licked his sores .
*
And it came to pass ,
that the beggar died ,
and that he was carried away by the angels into Abraham '
s bosom :
and the rich man also died ,
and was buried .
*
And in Hades he lifted up his eyes ,
being in torments ,
and sees Abraham far off ,
and Lazarus in his bosom .
*
And he cried and said ,
Father Abraham ,
have mercy on me ,
and send Lazarus ,
that he may dip the tip of his finger in water ,
and cool my tongue ;
for I am in anguish in this flame .
*
But Abraham said ,
Child ,
remember that you in your lifetime received your good things ,
and Lazarus in like manner evil things :
but now here he is comforted and you are in anguish .
*
And besides all this ,
between us and you (
note :){+}(:
note )
there is a great gulf fixed ,
that those who would pass from here to you {+}
may not be able ,
and that none may cross over from there to us .
*
And he said ,
I pray you therefore ,
father ,
that you would send him to my father '
s house ;
*
for I have five brothers ;
that he may testify to them ,
lest they also come into this place of torment .
*
But Abraham says ,
They have Moses and the prophets ;
let them hear them .
*
And he said ,
No ,
father Abraham :
but if one go to them from the dead ,
they will repent .
*
And he said to him ,
If they don '
t hear Moses and the prophets ,
neither will they be persuaded ,
if one would rise from the dead .
