19 Havia porém um certo homem rico, e vestia-se de púrpura, e de linho finíssimo, e festejava todo dia com luxo.

20 Havia também um certo mendigo, de nome Lázaro, o qual ficava deitado à sua porta cheio de feridas.

21 E desejava se satisfazer com as migalhas que caíam da mesa do rico; porém vinham também os cães, e lambiam suas feridas.

22 E aconteceu que o mendigo morreu, e foi levado pelos anjos para o colo de Abraão. E o rico também morreu, e foi sepultado.

23 E estando no Xeol em tormentos, ele levantou seus olhos, e viu a Abraão de longe, e a Lázaro junto dele.
