22 And it came to pass, that the beggar died, and was carried by the angels into Abraham's bosom. The rich man also died, and was buried:

23 And in hell he fifted up his eyes, being in torments, and seeth Abraham afar off, and Lazarus in his bosom.

24 And he cried, and said, Fa ther Abraham, have mercy on me. and send Lazarus, that he may dip the tip of his finger in water, and cool my tongue : for I am tor mented in this flame.
