    20At his gate was laid a beggar named Lazarus, covered with sores.

    21He longed to eat what fell from the rich man’s table. Even the dogs came and licked his sores.

    22"The time came when the beggar died and the angels carried him to Abraham’s side. The rich man also died and was buried.

    23In Hades, where he was in torment, he looked up and saw Abraham far away, with Lazarus by his side.

    24So he called to him, 'Father Abraham, have pity on me and send Lazarus to dip the tip of his finger in water and cool my tongue, because I am in agony in this fire.'

    25But Abraham replied, 'Son, remember that in your lifetime you received your good things, while Lazarus received bad things. But now he is comforted here, and you are in agony.'
