Luke 16:19–31

¹⁹There was a certain rich man, which was clothed in ^wpurple and ^xfine linen, and ^yfared sumptuously every day: ²⁰and there was a certain beggar named ^zLazarus, which was ^alaid at his ^bgate, full of sores, ²¹and ^cdesiring to be fed with ^dthe crumbs which fell from the rich man’s table: moreover the dogs came and licked his sores. ²²And it came to pass that the beggar died, and was carried by ^ethe angels into Abraham’s ^fbosom: the rich man also died, and was buried; ²³and in ^ghell ^hhe lift up his eyes, being in ⁱtorments, and seeth Abraham afar off, and Lazarus in ^fhis bosom. ²⁴And he cried and said, ^kFather Abraham, have mercy on me, and send Lazarus, that he may dip the tip of his finger in water, and cool ^lmy tongue; for I ^mam tormented in this ^lflame. ²⁵But Abraham said, Son, ⁿremember that thou in thy lifetime ^oreceivedst thy good things, and likewise Lazarus evil things: but now he is ^ocomforted, and thou art tormented. ²⁶And besides all this, between us and you there is a great gulf fixed: so that they which would pass from hence to you cannot; neither can they pass to us, that would come from thence. ²⁷Then he said, I pray thee therefore, father, that thou wouldest send him to my father’s house: ²⁸for I have five brethren; that he may ^ptestify unto them, lest they also come into this place of ⁱtorment. ²⁹Abraham saith unto him, They have ^qMoses and the prophets; let them hear them. ³⁰And he said, Nay, ^kfather Abraham: but if one went unto them from the dead, they will repent. ³¹And he said unto him, ^rIf they hear not ^qMoses and the prophets, ^sneither will they be persuaded, though one rose from the dead.
