Luke 16:16-23

¹⁶The law and the prophets were until John: from that time the glad tidings of the kingdom of God are announced, and every one forces his way into it.

¹⁷But it is easier that the heaven and the earth should pass away than that one tittle of the law should fail.

¹⁸Every one who puts away his wife and marries another commits adultery; and every one that marries one put away from a husband commits adultery.

¹⁹Now there was a rich man and he was clothed in purple and fine linen, making good cheer in splendour every day.

²⁰And there was a poor man, by name Lazarus, who was laid at his gateway full of sores,

²¹and desiring to be filled with the crumbs which fell from the table of the rich man; but the dogs also coming licked his sores.

²²And it came to pass that the poor man died, and that he was carried away by the angels into the bosom of Abraham. And the rich man also died and was buried.

²³And in hades lifting up his eyes, being in torments, he sees Abraham afar off, and Lazarus in his bosom.
