Luke 16:19-23

¹⁹Jesus told them another picture story. He said, “There was a rich man that always wore real good clothes, and he always had plenty of good food to eat.

²⁰And there was a very poor man, called Lazarus, that had a lot of sores on his body. He was hungry, but he had nothing to eat, so he lay down at the gate of the rich man’s house.

²¹He hoped he might get some of the rubbish food that the rich man chucked away. That rich man didn’t give him any good food. The dogs there used to lick that poor man’s sores.

²²Then one day the poor man died, and God sent his angel messengers to get him and take him to heaven to be with Abraham, our grand-father of a long time ago. Then later the rich man died, and his family buried his body.

²³But he went to the bad place called hell. He was in a big fire in that place, and it hurt him a lot. Then he looked up and he saw Abraham, a long way off, and he saw Lazarus there with Abraham.
