Synoptic Savings - The Rich Man & Lazarus

230	The RICH MAN & LAZARUS
Matt	Mark	Luke 16
		19	'There was a rich man,
			who was clothed in purple and fine linen
			and who feasted sumptuously every day.
		20	And at his gate lay a poor man named Lazarus,
			full of sores,
		21	who desired to be fed
			with what fell from the rich man's table;
			moreover the dogs came and licked his sores.
		22	The poor man died
			and was carried by the angels
			to Abraham's bosom.
			The rich man also died
			and was buried;
		23	and in Hades, being in torment,
			he lifted up his eyes, and saw Abraham far off
			and Lazarus in his bosom.
		24	And he called out,
			'Father Abraham, have mercy upon me,
			and send Lazarus to dip his finger in water
			and cool my tongue;
			for I am in anguish in this flame.'
		25	But Abraham answered,
			'Son, remember
			that you in your lifetime received your good things,
			and Lazarus in like manner evil things;
			but now he is comforted here,
			and you are in anguish.
		26	And besides all this,
			between us and you a great chasm has been fixed,
			in order that those who would pass from here
			to you may not be able,
			and none may cross from there to us.'
		27	And he said,
			'Then I beg you, father,
			to send him to my father's house,
		28	for I have five brothers,
			so that he may warn them,
			lest they also come into this place of torment.'
		29	But Abraham said,
			'They have Moses and the prophets;
			let them hear them.'
		30	And he said,
			'No, father Abraham;
			but if some one goes to them from the dead,
			they will repent.'
		31	He said to him,
			'If they do not hear Moses and the prophets,
			neither will they be convinced
			if some one should rise from the dead.'"
