Luke 16:19-31

Murdock(i) 19 And there was a certain rich man, who was clothed in fine linen and scarlet, and passed every day in splendid luxury. 20 And there was a certain poor man, whose name was Lazarus; and he was laid at the gate of the rich man, smitten with ulcers. 21 And he desired to fill his belly with the fragments that fell from the rich man's table: and the dogs also came and licked his ulcers. 22 And so it was, that the poor man died; and angels transported him to Abraham's bosom. The rich man also died, and was buried. 23 And being tormented in hell, he raised his eyes from afar off, and saw Abraham, and Lazarus in his bosom. 24 And he called with a loud voice, and said: Abraham, my father, have pity on me; and send Lazarus, that he may dip the tip of his finger in water, and moisten my tongue; for, lo, I am tormented in this flame. 25 And Abraham said to him: My son, remember, that thou receivedst thy good things in thy lifetime, and Lazarus his evil things: and now, behold he is here at rest, and thou art tormented. 26 And with all these, there is a great barrier between us and you; so that they who would pass from here to you, cannot; neither can they pass from there to us 27 He said to him: I pray thee, therefore, my father, that thou wouldst send him to my father's house; 28 for I have five brothers; that he may go and protest to them; lest they also come to this place of torment. 29 Abraham said to him: They have Moses and the prophets, let them hear them. 30 But he said to him: No, my father Abraham: but if one shall go to them from the dead, they will repent. 31 Abraham said to him: If they hear not Moses and the prophets, they will not believe, though one should rise from the dead.
