[19] a certain rich man, which was clothed in purple and fine linen, and fared sumptuously every day: [20] And a certain beggar named Lazarus, was laid at his gate, full of sores, [21] And desiring to be fed with which fell from the rich man's table: moreover the dogs came and licked his sores. [22] And it came to pass, that the beggar died, and was carried by the angels into Abraham's bosom: the rich man also died, and was buried; [23] And in hell he lift up his eyes, being in torments, and seeth Abraham afar off, and Lazarus in his bosom. [24] And he cried and said, Father Abraham, have mercy and send Lazarus, that he may dip the tip of his finger in water, and cool tongue; for I am tormented in flame. [25] But Abraham said, Son, that thou in lifetime receivedst good things, and likewise Lazarus evil things: but now he is comforted, and thou art tormented.
