21 and desiring to be filled-to-satisfaction by the things falling from the table of the rich man. 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].
