20 And a certain poor man named Lazarus was laid at his gate, being full of sores 21 and desiring to be fed from that falling from the table of the rich man; but even the dogs, coming, were licking his sores. 22 And it came to pass that the poor man died, and he was carried away by the angels into the bosom of Abraham. And the rich man also died and was buried. 23 And in Hades, having lifted up his eyes, being in torment, he sees Abraham from afar and Lazarus in his bosom. 24 And having cried out, he said, ‘Father Abraham, have mercy on me and send Lazarus so that he might dip the tip of his finger in water and cool my tongue, because I am suffering in this flame.’ 25 But Abraham said, ‘Child, remember that you fully received your good things in your life, and Lazarus likewise the evil things. But now he is comforted here, and you are suffering. Luke 16:20-25, Berean Literal Bible. Public domain.
