    20And there was a certain beggar named Lazarus, who was laid at his gate, full of sores,

    21And desiring to be fed with the crumbs which fell from the rich man's table: moreover the dogs came and licked his sores.

    22And it came to pass, that the beggar died, and was carried by the angels to Abraham's bosom: the rich man also died, and was buried;

    23And in hell he lifted up his eyes, being in torments, and saw Abraham afar off, and Lazarus in his bosom.

    24And 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.

    25But Abraham said, Son, remember that you in your lifetime received your good things, and likewise Lazarus evil things: but now he is comforted, and you are tormented.

    26And besides all this, between us and you there is a great gulf fixed, so that those who would pass from here to you cannot; neither can they pass to us who would come from there.
