Luke 16:19-31
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.
26And 9besidesG1722 allG3956 thisG3778, betweenG3342 us and you a greatG3173 chasmG5490 has been setG4741, soG3704 thatG3704 thoseG3588 who wantG2309 to goG1224 overG1224 fromG1759 hereG1759 to you will not be ableG1410, norG3366 will any people crossG1276 overG1276 fromG1564 thereG1564 to us.’
27And he saidG3004, ‘ThenG3767 I requestG2065 of you, fatherG3962, that you sendG3992 him to my father’sG3962 houseG3624--
28for I haveG2192 fiveG4002 brothersG80--inG3704 orderG3704 thatG3704 he may 10warnG1263 them, soG2443 thatG2443 they will not comeG2064 to thisG3778 placeG5117 of tormentG931 asG2532 wellG2532.’
29But AbrahamG11 saidG3004, ‘They haveG2192 1112MosesG3475 and the ProphetsG4396; let them hearG191 them.’
30But he saidG3004, ‘NoG3780, 13fatherG3962 AbrahamG11, but ifG1437 someoneG5100 goesG4198 to them from the deadG3498, they will repentG3340!’
31But he saidG3004 to him, ‘IfG1487 they do not listenG191 to MosesG3475 and the ProphetsG4396, they will not be persuadedG3982 evenG3761 ifG1437 someoneG5100 risesG450 from the deadG3498.’”
