19 NOW there was a certain rich man, and he was clothed in byssos and purple, and every day feasted gaily.

20 And there was a certain poor man, whose name was Loózar; and he lay at the gate of him who was rich, bruised with wounds,

21 and desired to fill his belly with the crumbs which fell from the table of that rich. And also the dogs came and licked his wounds.

22 Now that poor man died, and angels conducted him to the bosom of Abraham: but that rich man also died, and was buried.

23 And, tormented in shiul, he lifted up his eyes afar, and seeth Abraham, and Loózar in his bosom.

24 And he cried with a high voice, and said, My father Abraham, have compassion upon me, and send Loózar, that he may dip the top of his finger in waters, and moisten my tongue; for, behold, I am tormented in this flame.

25 Abraham said to him, My son, remember that thou didst receive thy goods in thy life, and Loózar his evils, and now, behold, he reposeth here, and thou art tormented.

26 And with all these, there is a great void set between us and you, that they who would pass from hence unto you are not able, nor they also who would pass from thence to us.

27 He said to him, I pray thee, then, my father, to send him unto my father's house:

28 for five brethren have I; let him go and testify unto them, that they also come not to this place of torment.

29 Abraham said to him, They have Musha and the prophets, let them hear them.

30 But he said to him, No, my father Abraham, but if one from the dead shall go unto them, they repent.

31 Abraham saith to him, If Musha and the prophets they hear not, neither, if one from the dead should rise, would they believe him.
