Luke 16:19-31 365D 203.1
19 “There was a certain rich man who was clothed in purple and fine linen and [h]lived in luxury fared sumptuously every day. 365D 203.2
20 But there was a certain beggar named Lazarus, full of sores, who was laid at his gate, 365D 203.3
21 desiring to be fed with [i]NU what fell the crumbs which fell from the rich man’s table. Moreover the dogs came and licked his sores. 365D 203.4
22 So it was that the beggar died, and was carried by the angels to Abraham’s bosom. The rich man also died and was buried. 365D 203.5
23 And being in torments in Hades, he lifted up his eyes and saw Abraham afar off, and Lazarus in his bosom. 365D 203.6
24 “Then 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.’ 365D 203.7
25 But Abraham said, ‘Son, remember that in your lifetime you received your good things, and likewise Lazarus evil things; but now he is comforted and you are tormented. 365D 203.8
26 And besides all this, between us and you there is a great gulf fixed, so that those who want to pass from here to you cannot, nor can those from there pass to us.’ 365D 203.9
27 “Then he said, ‘I beg you therefore, father, that you would send him to my father’s house, 365D 203.10
28 for I have five brothers, that he may testify to them, lest they also come to this place of torment.’ 365D 203.11
29 Abraham said to him, ‘They have Moses and the prophets; let them hear them.’ 365D 203.12
30 And he said, ‘No, father Abraham; but if one goes to them from the dead, they will repent.’ 365D 203.13
31 But he said to him, ‘If they do not hear Moses and the prophets, neither will they be persuaded though one rise from the dead.’ ” 365D 203.14
