"There is a rich man who always dressed purple robes and fine fabrics, and every day he reveled in luxury. and there is a beggar named Lazarus, his body full with ulcers, lying near the door of the rich man, and want to eliminate hunger with what fall from the rich man table. and the dogs came and licked lazarus ulcers. then the beggar died, and then carried by the angels to the bosom of abraham. and the rich man also died and was buried. and while rich man suffered at the gates of Hades he looked into above, and from afar he saw abraham, and lazarus sit on his lap. then rich man cried and said, father Abraham, have mercy on me. command that lazarus, so he dipped his finger in water and cool my tongue, because I am in pain in this fire. but abraham said: child, remember that you have received good things in your lifetime, while lazarus received all bad things, now lazarus is comforted, and you are tormented. and between us and you there is a cliff can not be crossed, so those who want to go from here to you or those who want come from there is can not cross. the rich man said, if so, I ask you, father, you sent him to my father house, because i still have five brothers, so he warned them to really seriously repent, so they no in at this suffering place. but abraham said: there is testimony of Moses and the prophets in there: let them listen the testimony. the rich man said: no, father abraham, but if there is someone who come from the death to them, they will repent. abraham said to him: if they not listen Moses and the prophets, they not want be convinced, even by a man who rose from the dead."
