rsv Luke:16:19-31
rsv@Luke:16:19 @ "There was a rich man, who was clothed in purple and fine linen and who feasted sumptuously every day.
rsv@Luke:16:20 @ And at his gate lay a poor man named Laz'arus, full of sores,
rsv@Luke:16:21 @ who desired to be fed with what fell from the rich man's table; moreover the dogs came and licked his sores.
rsv@Luke:16:22 @ The poor man died and was carried by the angels to Abraham's bosom. The rich man also died and was buried;
rsv@Luke:16:23 @ and in Hades, being in torment, he lifted up his eyes, and saw Abraham far off and Laz'arus in his bosom.
rsv@Luke:16:24 @ And he called out, `Father Abraham, have mercy upon me, and send Laz'arus to dip the end of his finger in water and cool my tongue; for I am in anguish in this flame.'
rsv@Luke:16:25 @ But Abraham said, `Son, remember that you in your lifetime received your good things, and Laz'arus in like manner evil things; but now he is comforted here, and you are in anguish.
rsv@Luke:16:26 @ And besides all this, between us and you a great chasm has been fixed, in order that those who would pass from here to you may not be able, and none may cross from there to us.'
rsv@Luke:16:27 @ And he said, `Then I beg you, father, to send him to my father's house,
rsv@Luke:16:28 @ for I have five brothers, so that he may warn them, lest they also come into this place of torment.'
rsv@Luke:16:29 @ But Abraham said, `They have Moses and the prophets; let them hear them.'
rsv@Luke:16:30 @ And he said, `No, father Abraham; but if some one goes to them from the dead, they will repent.'
rsv@Luke:16:31 @ He said to him, `If they do not hear Moses and the prophets, neither will they be convinced if some one should rise from the dead.'"
