[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.  [26] And  all  between  and  a great  gulf  fixed:  so that  they which would  pass  to  cannot;  neither  can they pass  to  that would come from thence.  [27] Then  he said,  I pray  therefore,  father,  that  thou wouldest send  him  to  father's  house:  [28] For  I have  five  brethren;  that  he may testify  unto them,  also  come  into  place  of torment.  [29] Abraham  saith  unto him,  They have  Moses  and  the prophets;  let them hear  them.  [30] And  he said,  Nay,  father  Abraham:  but  if  one  went  unto  them  from  the dead,  they will repent.  [31] And  he said  unto him,  If  they hear  not  Moses  and  the prophets,  neither  will they be persuaded,  though  one  rose  from  the dead.
