desiring to be fed with the _crumbs_ that fell from the rich man's 22 table; yea, even the dogs came and licked his sores. And it came to pass, that the beggar died, and that he was carried away by the angels into Abraham's bosom: and the rich man also died, and was 23 buried. And in Hades he lifted up his eyes, being in torments, and 24 seeth Abraham afar off, and Lazarus in his bosom. And he cried and said, Father 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 25 am in anguish in this flame. But Abraham said, [10]Son, remember that thou in thy lifetime receivedst thy good things, and Lazarus in like manner evil things: but now here he is comforted, and thou 26 art in anguish. And [11]beside all this, between us and you there is a great gulf fixed, that they which would pass from hence to you may not be able, and that none may cross over from thence to 27 us. And he said, I pray thee therefore, father, that thou wouldest 28 send him to my father's house; for I have five brethren; that he may testify unto them, lest they also come into this place of 29 torment. But Abraham saith, They have Moses and the prophets; let 30 them hear them. And he said, Nay, father Abraham: but if one go to 31 them from the dead, they will repent. And he said unto him, If they hear not Moses and the prophets, neither will they be persuaded, if one rise from the dead. 1 And he said unto his disciples, It is impossible but that occasions of stumbling should come: but woe unto him, through whom 2 they come! It were well for him if a millstone were hanged about his neck, and he were thrown into the sea, rather than that he 3 should cause one of these little ones to stumble. Take heed to yourselves: if thy brother sin, rebuke him; and if he repent, 4 forgive him. And if he sin against thee seven times in the day, and seven times turn again to thee, saying, I repent; thou shalt forgive him. 5, 6 And the apostles said unto the Lord, Increase our faith. And the Lord said, If ye have faith as a grain of mustard seed, ye would say unto this sycamine tree, Be thou rooted up, and be thou 7 planted in the sea; and it would have obeyed you. But who is there of you, having a [12]servant plowing or keeping sheep, that will say unto him, when he is come in from the field, Come straightway 8 and sit down to meat; and will not rather say unto him, Make ready wherewith I may sup, and gird thyself, and serve me, till I have 9 eaten and drunken; and afterward thou shalt eat and drink? Doth he thank the [12]servant because he did the things that were 10 commanded? Even so ye also, when ye shall have done all the things that are commanded you, say, We are unprofitable [13]servants; we have done that which it was our duty to do.
