19Once there was a man who was rich. He wore purple clothes and fine linen, and enjoyed a luxurious life.
20A beggar named Lazarus used to sit at his gate, covered in sores,
21longing to eat the leftovers from the rich man's table. Even the dogs came and licked his sores.
22Then the beggar died, and angels carried him away to be with Abraham. The rich man also died and was buried.
23In Hades, where he was in torment, he looked up and saw Abraham in the far distance, with Lazarus beside him.
