Even[a] indeed the dogs coming were licking his sores. 22 And it came about that the poor man died and he was carried-away by the angels to the bosom of Abraham. And the rich man also died and was buried. 23 And having lifted-up his eyes in Hades while being in torments, he sees Abraham from a-distance, and Lazarus in his bosom[b].

- Luke 16:21 That is, Lazarus received help only from passers-by, even the dogs cleaning his sores. Or, But even. That is, Lazarus desired to be filled, but even the dogs tormented him.
- Luke 16:23 Same word as earlier, but plural. That is, at his side; or, in his folds (of the garment, as in 6:38), in his lap. This is a reference either to a loving expression of comfort (v 25) and welcome, or to a place of honor.
