Luke 16:16-23

¹⁶The Lawe and the Prophets endured vntill Iohn: and since that time the kingdome of God is preached, and euery man preasseth into it.

¹⁷Nowe it is more easie that heauen and earth shoulde passe away, then that one title of the Lawe should fall.

¹⁸Whosoeuer putteth away his wife, and marieth another, committeth adulterie: and whosoeuer marieth her that is put away from her husband, committeth adulterie.

¹⁹There was a certaine riche man, which was clothed in purple and fine linnen, and fared well and delicately euery day.

²⁰Also there was a certaine begger named Lazarus, which was laide at his gate full of sores,

²¹And desired to bee refreshed with the crommes that fell from the riche mans table: yea, and the dogges came and licked his sores.

²²And it was so that the begger died, and was caried by the Angels into Abrahams bosome. The rich man also died, and was buried.

²³And being in hell in torments, he lift vp his eyes, and sawe Abraham a farre off, and Lazarus in his bosome.
