ACV(i)
19 Now there was a certain rich man, and he was clothed in purple and fine linen, faring sumptuously daily.
20 But there was a certain poor man named Lazarus, who had been placed near his gate, covered with sores,
21 and longing to be fed with the crumbs that fell from the rich man's table. But even the dogs that came licked his sores.
22 And it came to pass for the poor man to die and be carried by the agents to Abraham's bosom. And the rich man also died and was buried.
23 And having lifted up his eyes in Hades, being in torments, he sees Abraham from afar and Lazarus by his bosom.
24 And having cried out, he said, Father Abraham, be merciful to me, and send Lazarus, so that he may dip the tip of his finger in water, and cool my tongue, because I am in agony in this flame.
25 But Abraham said, Child, remember that thou in thy lifetime received thy good things, and likewise Lazarus evil things. But now here he is comforted and thou are in agony.
26 And besides all these things, between us and you a great chasm is fixed, so that those here who want to cross over to you are not able, nor may those go across from there to us.
27 And he said, I beg thee therefore, father, that thou would send him to my father's house,
28 for I have five brothers, that he may testify to them, lest they also come into this place of torment.
29 But Abraham says to him, They have Moses and the prophets. Let them hear them.
30 And he said, No, father Abraham, but if some man would go to them from the dead they will repent.
31 And he said to him, If they do not listen to Moses and the prophets, neither will they be persuaded if some man would rise from the dead.
