The
Rich Man and Lazarus
Luke 16: 19-31
****
Luke 16: 19-31
16:19 There was a certain rich
man, which was clothed in purple and fine linen,
and fared sumptuously every day:
16:20 And there was a certain beggar named Lazarus, which was laid at his
gate, full of sores,
16:21 And desiring to be fed with the crumbs which fell from the rich man's
table:
moreover the dogs came and licked his sores.
16:22 And it came to pass,
that the beggar died, and was carried by the angels into Abraham's bosom:
the rich man also died, and was buried;
16:23 And in hell he lift up his eyes, being in torments,
and seeth Abraham afar off, and Lazarus in his bosom.
16:24 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 tormented in this
flame.
16:25 But Abraham said,
Son, remember that thou in thy lifetime receivedst thy good things,
and likewise Lazarus evil things: but now he is comforted, and thou art
tormented.
16:26 And beside all this, between us and you there is a great gulf fixed:
so that they which would pass from hence to you cannot;
neither can they pass to us, that would come from thence.
16:27 Then he said,
I pray thee therefore, father, that thou wouldest send him to my father's
house:
16:28 For I have five brethren;
that he may testify unto them, lest they also come into this place of
torment.
16:29 Abraham saith unto him,
They have Moses and the prophets; let them hear them.
16:30 And he said,
Nay, father Abraham: but if one went unto them from the dead, they will
repent.
16:31 And he said unto him,
If they hear not Moses and the prophets, neither will they be persuaded,
though one rose from the dead.
