Luke:16:19-31
Seeker Overlay ON
* »
There was a certain rich man who was clothed in purple and fine linen and feasted sumptuously every day .
*
And a certain beggar named Lazarus was laid at his gate ,
full of sores ,
*
longing to be fed with what fell from the rich man '
s table .
Moreover the dogs came and licked his sores .
*
So the beggar died ,
and was carried by the angels to Abraham '
s bosom .
The rich man also died and was buried .
*
And in Hades ,
being in torment ,
he lifted up his eyes ,
and saw Abraham far off and Lazarus in his bosom .
*
And he called out ,
Father Abraham ,
have mercy upon me ,
and send Lazarus to dip the tip of his finger in water and cool my tongue ;
for I am in agony in this flame .
*
But Abraham said ,
Son ,
remember that in your lifetime you received your good things ,
and Lazarus received evil things ;
but now he is comforted here and you are in agony .
*
And besides all this ,
between us and you a great chasm has been fixed ,
so that those who want to pass from here to you cannot ,
nor can anyone cross over from there to us .
*
And he said ,
Then I beg you ,
father ,
to send him to my father '
s house ,
*
for I have five brothers ,
so that he may warn them ,
lest they also come to this place of torment .
*
Abraham said to him ,
They have Moses and the prophets ;
let them hear them .
*
And he said ,
No ,
father Abraham ;
but if someone goes to them from the dead ,
they will repent .
*
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 .«
