Luke 16:21

Poverty and the vulnerable

19 Now there was a rich man dressed in purple and fine linen, who lived each day in joyous splendor.

20 And a beggar named Lazarus lay at his gate, covered with sores

and longing to be fed with the crumbs that fell from the rich man’s table. Even the dogs came and licked his sores.

22 One day the beggar died and was carried by the angels to Abraham’s side. And the rich man also died and was buried.

23 In Hades, where he was in torment, he looked up and saw Abraham from afar, with Lazarus by his side.
