The Rich Man and Lazarus

¹⁹ “Now there was a rich man, and he habitually dressed in purple and fine linen, joyously living in splendor every day.

²² Now the poor man died and was carried away by the angels to ^(A)Abraham’s bosom; and the rich man also died and was buried. ²³ In ^(B)Hades he lifted up his eyes, being in torment, and *saw Abraham far away and Lazarus in his bosom. ²⁴ And he cried out and said, ‘^(C)Father Abraham, have mercy on me, and send Lazarus so that he may dip the tip of his finger in water and cool off my tongue, for I am in agony in ^(D)this flame.’
