MNT(i)
19 "Now there was a certain rich man who was clothed in purple and fine linen, and made merry every day in splendor.
20 "And a certain beggar named Lazarus was thrown at his door.
21 "He was full of sores, and longingly desired to be fed with the crumbs that fell from the rich man's table. Yes! even the dogs came and licked his sores.
22 "But in the course of time the beggar died; and he was carried by angels into Abraham's bosom.
23 "The rich man also died, and was buried. And as he was tormented in Hades, he lifted up his eyes and saw Abraham afar off and Lazarus in his bosom.
24 "And he cried out and said, 'Father Abraham have mercy on me; and send Lazarus to dip the tip of his finger in water and cool my tongue, for I am in anguish in this flame.'
25 "'Remember my son.' said Abraham, 'that you had in your lifetime all your good things, and in the same way Lazarus his evil things; but now here he is comforted, and you are in anguish.
26 "But besides all this, between us and you there is a great chasm fixed, so that those who want to cross from here to you cannot, nor can those who would cross from you to us.'
27 "'I beg you then, father,' he said, 'send him to my fathers house. For I have five brothers.
28 "'Let him earnestly warn them, lest they too come to this place of torment.'
29 "But Abraham said, 'They have Moses and the Prophets, let them listen to them.'
30 "'Nay, Father Abraham,' he said 'but if some one went to them from the dead they would repent.'
31 "'If they will not listen to Moses and the prophets,' said Father Abraham, 'neither will they be persuaded if one should rise from the dead.'"
