Luke 16:19-23

19“Now there was a rich man, and he habitually dressed in purple and fine linen, enjoying himself in splendor every day.

20And a poor man named Lazarus 1was laid at his gate, covered with sores,

21and longing to be fed from the scraps which fell from the rich man’s table; not only that, the dogs also were coming and licking his sores.

22Now it happened that the poor man died and was carried away by the angels to 23Abraham’s arms; and the rich man also died and was buried.

23And in 4Hades he raised his eyes, being in torment, and saw Abraham far away and Lazarus in his 5arms.
