Luke 16:20-25 "Now in contrast, there was a certain destitute man named Lazarus, who, having been sorely wounded (or: afflicted with sores and ulcers), had been flung down (or: cast aside) in the proximity of and facing toward the large portico (gateway and forecourt) of his house.

JMNT⁽ⁱ⁾ ²⁰ "Now in contrast, there was a certain destitute man named Lazarus, who, having been sorely wounded (or: afflicted with sores and ulcers), had been flung [down] (or: cast [aside]) in the proximity of and [facing] toward the large portico (gateway and forecourt) of his [house]. ²¹ "And [he continued there] progressively experiencing strong desires to be fed and satisfied from the things [which were] from time to time falling from the rich man's table. Not only that, even the dogs – periodically coming – were licking his wounds (or: sores and ulcers). ²² "Now at one point it came to be [for] the destitute man to die off and for him to be carried away by the agents (or: messengers) into Abraham's place of safety and intimacy (bosom; breast; chest; folds of a garment; inlet or bay; [note: a figure of Paradise]). Now the rich man also died, and he was buried (or: – he also was entombed). ²³ "Then, undergoing the distress of being examined, tested and tried (having the touchstone applied to check his composition) within the midst of the unseen [realm] (or: = the grave; the sphere or state of the dead; Greek: hades), upon lifting up his eyes he continues seeing Abraham, from afar, as well as Lazarus within his bosom (place of intimacy and safety). ²⁴ "And so he, shouting a call, said, 'Father Abraham, mercy me (do at once that which will be merciful to me) and at once send Lazarus (means: God's helper; or: God is the Helper) so that he can (or: may) immerse (dip; baptize) the tip of his finger [in] water, and then can cool down my tongue – because I continue being pained within the midst of this flame.' ²⁵ "But Abraham said, 'Child (or: Born one; or: Descendant), be reminded that within your life (or: lifetime) you took away (or: received from; or: got in full) your good things (or: the good things that pertain to you; the good things that had their source in you), and Lazarus likewise the bad things (the [experiences] of poor quality; the worthless things; the harmful and injurious [treatments]; the [conditions] as they ought not to be). But at the present time, here he continues being called alongside and given relief, aid, comfort and consolation, yet you yourself continue being given pain.
