And a certain poor man by the name of Lazarus was laid at his gate, afflicted with ulcers,

and in hades he lifted up his eyes, being in torments, and saw Abraham from afar, and Lazarus in his bosom.

And he called and said, Father Abraham, have mercy on me, and send Lazarus to dip the tip of his finger in water and cool my tongue; for I am in pain in this flame.

But Abraham said, Son, remember that you received your good things in your life, and Lazarus in like manner evil things; but now he is comforted here, and you are in pain.
