Goodspeed(i)
20 And a beggar named Lazarus was put down at his gate covered with sores
21 and eager to satisfy his hunger with what was thrown away from the rich man's table. Why, the very dogs came and licked his sores.
22 And it came about that the beggar died and was carried away by the angels to the companionship of Abraham, and the rich man too died and was buried.
23 And in Hades he looked up, tormented as he was, and saw Abraham far away, with Lazarus beside him.
24 And he called to him and said, 'Father Abraham! take pity on me, and send Lazarus to dip the tip of his finger in water and cool my tongue, for I am in torment, here in the flames!'
25 And Abraham said, 'My child, remember that you received your blessings in your lifetime, and Lazarus had his misfortunes in his; and now he is being comforted here, while you are in anguish.
