ABU(i)
19 There was a certain rich man, who was clothed in purple and fine linen, and fared sumptuously every day.
20 And there was a certain beggar named Lazarus, who was laid at his gate, full of sores,
21 and desiring to be fed with the crumbs that 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 he was borne away by the angels into Abraham's bosom. The rich man also died, and was buried;
23 and in the underworld, lifting up his eyes, being in torments, he sees Abraham afar off, and Lazarus in his bosom.
24 And he cried and said: Father Abraham, have mercy on me, and send Lazarus, that he may dip the tip of his finger in water, and cool my tongue; for I am tormented in this flame.
25 But Abraham said: Child, remember that in thy lifetime thou receivedst thy good things in full, and Lazarus in like manner his evil things; but now here, he is comforted and thou art tormented.
26 And besides all this, between us and you a great gulf is fixed; that they who would pass from hence to you may not be able, nor those from thence pass over to us.
27 And he said: I pray thee therefore, father, that thou wouldst send him to my father's house.
28 For I have five brothers; that he may testify to them, that they may not also come into this place of torment.
29 Abraham says to him: They have Moses and the prophets let them hear them.
30 And he said: Nay, father Abraham; but if one should go to them from the dead, they will repent.
31 And he said to him: If they hear not Moses and the prophets, neither will they be persuaded, though one should rise from the dead.
