The Rich Man and Lazarus

¹⁹ Jesus said, “There was a rich man who always dressed in ·the finest clothes [^Lpurple and fine linen] and ·lived in luxury [or feasted sumptuously] every day. ²⁰ And a very poor man named Lazarus, whose body was covered with sores, was laid at the rich man’s gate. ²¹ He ·wanted [longed] to eat ·only the small pieces of food that fell [^Lwhat fell] from the rich man’s table. ·And [Even] the dogs would come and lick his sores [^Cdogs were viewed as despicable scavengers, not household pets].
