Luke 16:19-25

19“NowG1161 there was a richG4145 manG444, and he habitually dressedG1737 in purpleG4209 and fineG1040 linenG1040, enjoyingG2165 himself in splendorG2988 everyG2596 dayG2250.

20And a poorG4434 manG4434 namedG3686 LazarusG2976 1was laidG906 at his gateG4440, coveredG1669 withG1669 soresG1669,

21and longingG1937 to be fedG5526 from the scraps which fellG4098 from the richG4145 man’sG4145 tableG5132; notG235 onlyG235 that, the dogsG2965 alsoG2532 were comingG2064 and lickingG1952 his soresG1668.

22NowG1161 it happenedG1096 that the poorG4434 manG4434 diedG599 and was carriedG667 awayG667 by the angelsG32 to 23Abraham’sG11 armsG2859; and the richG4145 manG4145 alsoG2532 diedG599 and was buriedG2290.

23And in 4HadesG86 he raisedG1869 his eyesG3788, beingG5225 in tormentG931, and sawG3708 AbrahamG11 farG3113 awayG575G3113 and LazarusG2976 in his 5armsG2859.

24And he criedG5455 outG5455 and saidG3004, ‘6FatherG3962 AbrahamG11, haveG1653 mercyG1653 on me and sendG3992 LazarusG2976, soG2443 thatG2443 he may dipG911 the tipG206 of his fingerG1147 in waterG5204 and coolG2711 offG2711 my tongueG1100, for I amG3600 inG3600 agonyG3600 in 7thisG3778 flameG5395.’

25But AbrahamG11 saidG3004, ‘ChildG5043, rememberG3403 that 8duringG1722 your lifeG2222 you receivedG618 your goodG18 thingsG18, and likewiseG3668 LazarusG2976 badG2556 thingsG2556; but nowG3568 he is being comfortedG3870 hereG5602, and you are inG3600 agonyG3600.
