Luke 16:16-23

¹⁶The law and the prophets till to John; from that time the realm of God is evangelized or is preached, and each man doeth violence into it.

¹⁷Forsooth it is lighter heaven and earth to pass, than that one tittle fall from the law.

¹⁸Every man that forsaketh his wife, and weddeth another, doeth lechery or adultery; and he that weddeth the wife forsaken of the husband, doeth adultery.

¹⁹There was a rich man, and was clothed in purple, and white silk, and ate every day shiningly.

²⁰And there was a beggar, Lazarus by name, that lay at his gate full of boils,

²¹and coveted to be fulfilled of or with the crumbs, that fell down from the rich man’s board, and no man gave to him; but hounds came, and licked his boils.

²²And it was done, that the beggar died, and was borne of angels into Abraham’s bosom. And the rich man was dead also, and was buried in hell.

²³And he raised up his eyes, when he was in torments, and saw Abraham afar, and Lazarus in his bosom.
