nkjv Luke:16:19-31
nkjv@Luke:16:19 @ "There was a certain rich man who was clothed in purple and fine linen and fared sumptuously every day.
nkjv@Luke:16:20 @ But there was a certain beggar named Lazarus, full of sores, who was laid at his gate,
nkjv@Luke:16:21 @ desiring to be fed with the crumbs which fell from the rich man's table. Moreover the dogs came and licked his sores.
nkjv@Luke:16:22 @ So it was that the beggar died, and was carried by the angels to Abraham's bosom. The rich man also died and was buried.
nkjv@Luke:16:23 @ And being in torments in Hades, he lifted up his eyes and saw Abraham afar off, and Lazarus in his bosom.
nkjv@Luke:16:24 @ "Then 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 tormented in this flame.'
nkjv@Luke:16:25 @ But Abraham said, "Son, remember that in your lifetime you received your good things, and likewise Lazarus evil things; but now he is comforted and you are tormented.
nkjv@Luke:16:26 @ And besides all this, between us and you there is a great gulf fixed, so that those who want to pass from here to you cannot, nor can those from there pass to us.'
nkjv@Luke:16:27 @ "Then he said, "I beg you therefore, father, that you would send him to my father's house,
nkjv@Luke:16:28 @ for I have five brothers, that he may testify to them, lest they also come to this place of torment.'
nkjv@Luke:16:29 @ Abraham said to him, "They have Moses and the prophets; let them hear them.'
nkjv@Luke:16:30 @ And he said, "No, father Abraham; but if one goes to them from the dead, they will repent.'
nkjv@Luke:16:31 @ But he said to him, "If they do not hear Moses and the prophets, neither will they be persuaded though one rise from the dead."'
