Luke 16:19-23

19“There was a rich man who was dressed in purple and fine linen and lived in luxury every day.

20At his gate was laid a beggar named Lazarus, covered with sores

21and longing to eat what fell from the rich man’s table. Even the dogs came and licked his sores.

22“The time came when the beggar died and the angels carried him to Abraham’s side. The rich man also died and was buried.

23In Hades, where he was in torment, he looked up and saw Abraham far away, with Lazarus by his side.
