nsb@Luke:16:19 @ »A rich man dressed in the most expensive clothes and lived in great luxury every day.
nsb@Luke:16:20 @ »A poor man named Lazarus, covered with sores, used to be brought to the rich mans door.
nsb@Luke:16:21 @ »He hoped he could eat the bits of food that fell from the rich mans table. Then the dogs would come and lick his sores.
nsb@Luke:16:22 @ »The poor man died and was carried by the angels to Abrahams bosom. The rich man died and was buried.
nsb@Luke:16:23 @ »He was in great torment in the grave. He looked up and saw Abraham, far away, with Lazarus at his side.
nsb@Luke:16:24 @ »He called out: Father Abraham! Take pity on me! Please send Lazarus to dip his finger in some water and cool off my tongue. I am in torment in this fire!
nsb@Luke:16:25 @ »Abraham said: Remember, my son, in your lifetime you were given good things, while Lazarus got all the bad things. Now he is enjoying himself while you are in torment.
nsb@Luke:16:26 @ »There is a deep pit lying between us, so that those who want to cross over from here to you cannot do so. And no one can cross over to us from where you are.
nsb@Luke:16:27 @ »The rich man said: I beg you, father Abraham, send Lazarus to my fathers house.
nsb@Luke:16:28 @ »Have him go warn my five brothers that they will not come to this place of torment.
nsb@Luke:16:29 @ »Abraham said: Your brothers have Moses and the prophets to warn them. They should listen to them.
nsb@Luke:16:30 @ « The rich man responded: It is not enough father Abraham! If someone from the dead went to them they would repent.
nsb@Luke:16:31 @ »Abraham said: If they would not listen to Moses and the prophets, they would not listen to someone from the dead.«
