Luke 16:22 in Context — Luke 16

20 Había también un mendigo llamado Lázaro, el cual estaba echado á la puerta de él, lleno de llagas,

21 Y deseando hartarse de las migajas que caían de la mesa del rico; y aun los perros venían y le lamían las llagas.

22 Y aconteció que murió el mendigo, y fué llevado por los ángeles al seno de Abraham: y murió también el rico, y fué sepultado.

23 Y en el infierno alzó sus ojos, estando en los tormentos, y vió á Abraham de lejos, y á Lázaro en su seno.

24 Entonces él, dando voces, dijo: Padre Abraham, ten misericordia de mí, y envía á Lázaro que moje la punta de su dedo en agua, y refresque mi lengua; porque soy atormentado en esta llama.
