Luke 16:19-23

Holman Christian Standard Bible

The Rich Man and Lazarus

¹⁹ “There was a rich man who would dress in purple and fine linen,^(A) feasting lavishly every day. ²⁰ But a poor man named Lazarus, covered with sores, was left at his gate.^{(B) 21} He longed to be filled^(C) with what fell from the rich man’s table,^(D) but instead the dogs^(E) would come and lick his sores. ²² One day the poor man died and was carried away by the angels to Abraham’s side.^[a](F) The rich man also died and was buried. ²³ And being in torment^(G) in Hades,^(H) he looked up and saw Abraham a long way off, with Lazarus at his side.
