Rich Man and Lazarus
19 There was a certain rich man, & he was clothed with purple and silk: and he fared every day magnifically.
20 And there was a certain beggar called Lazarus, that lay at his gate, full of sores:
21 desiring to be filled of the crumbs, that fell from the rich man's table, but the dogs also came, and licked his sores.
22 And it came to pass that the beggar died, and was carried of the Angels into Abraham's bosom. And the rich man also died: and he was buried in hell.
23 And lifting up his eyes, when he was in torments, he saw Abraham a far off, and Lazarus in his bosom:
24 and he crying said: Father Abraham, have mercy on me, and send Lazarus that he may dip the tip of his finger into water for to cool my tongue, because I am tormented in this flame.
25 And Abraham said to him: Son, remember that thou didst receive good things in thy life time, and Lazarus likewise evil: but now he is comforted, and thou art tormented.
26 And beside all these things, between us and you there is fixed a great chaos: that they which will pass from hence to you, may not, neither go from thence hither.
27 And he said: Then, father, I beseech thee that thou wouldest send him unto my father's house, for I have five brethren,
28 for to testify unto them, lest they also come into this place of torments.
29 And Abraham said to him: They have Moyses and the Prophets: let them hear them.
30 But he said: No, father Abraham, but if some man shall go from the dead to them, they will do penance.
31 And he said to him: If they hear not Moyses and the Prophets, neither if one shall rise again from the dead, will they believe.
