19 A man now certain was rich, and was clothed purple and fine linen, feasting every day sumptuously.

20 A poor and certain was named Lazarus, who was laid at the gate of him being covered with sores,

21 and longing to be fed from the crumbs those falling from the table of the rich; but even the dogs coming licked the sores of him.

22 It happened and to die the poor, and to be borne away him by the messengers into the bosom Abraham. Died and also the rich, and was buried.

23 And in the unseen having lifted the eyes of himself, being in torment, sees the Abraham from a distance, and Lazarus in the bosoms of him.

24 And he crying out said: O father Abraham, do thou pity me, and send Lazarus, that he may dip the tip of the finger of himself of water, and may cool the tongue of me; for I am in pain in the flame this.

25 Said and Abraham: O child, remember, that thou didst receive the things good of thee in the life of the, and Lazarus in like manner the things bad; now but this is comforted, thou and art in pain.

26 And besides all these, between of us and of you a chasm great has been fixed, so that those wishing to pass over hence to you, not is able, nor those thence to us cross over.

27 He said then: I beseech then thee, O father, that thou wouldst send him to the house of the father of me;

28 I have for five brothers; that he may testify to them, that not also they may come into the place this of the torment.

29 Says to him Abraham: They have Moses and the prophets; let them hear them.

30 He and said: No, O father, Abraham; but if one from dead ones may go to them, they will reform.

31 He said but to him: If Moses and the prophets not they hear, neither if one out of dead one should rise, will they be convinced.
