Luke 16:19-23

Amplified Bible, Classic Edition

¹⁹ There was a certain rich man who [habitually] clothed himself in purple and fine linen and ^[a]reveled and feasted and made merry in splendor every day.

²⁰ And at his gate there ^[b]was [carelessly] dropped down and left a certain ^[c]utterly destitute man named Lazarus, [reduced to begging alms and] covered with [^[d]ulcerated] sores.

²¹ He [eagerly] desired to be satisfied with what fell from the rich man’s table; moreover, the dogs even came and licked his sores.

²² And it occurred that the man [reduced to] begging died and was carried by the angels to Abraham’s bosom. The rich man also died and was buried.

²³ And in Hades (the realm of the dead), being in torment, he lifted up his eyes and saw Abraham far away, and Lazarus in his bosom.
