Verse of the week

Luk 16:19 "There was once a rich man who dressed in the most expensive clothes and lived in great luxury every day.
Luk 16:20 There was also a poor man named Lazarus, covered with sores, who used to be brought to the rich man's door,
Luk 16:21 hoping to eat the bits of food that fell from the rich man's table. Even the dogs would come and lick his sores.
Luk 16:22 The poor man died and was carried by the angels to sit beside Abraham at the feast in heaven. The rich man died and was buried,
Luk 16:23 and in Hades, where he was in great pain, he looked up and saw Abraham, far away, with Lazarus at his side.
Luk 16:24 So he called out, 'Father Abraham! Take pity on me, and send Lazarus to dip his finger in some water and cool off my tongue, because I am in great pain in this fire!'
Luk 16:25 But Abraham said, 'Remember, my son, that in your lifetime you were given all the good things, while Lazarus got all the bad things. But now he is enjoying himself here, while you are in pain.
Luk 16:26 Besides all that, there is a deep pit lying between us, so that those who want to cross over from here to you cannot do so, nor can anyone cross over to us from where you are.'
Luk 16:27 The rich man said, 'Then I beg you, father Abraham, send Lazarus to my father's house,
Luk 16:28 where I have five brothers. Let him go and warn them so that they, at least, will not come to this place of pain.'
Luk 16:29 Abraham said, 'Your brothers have Moses and the prophets to warn them; your brothers should listen to what they say.'
Luk 16:30 The rich man answered, 'That is not enough, father Abraham! But if someone were to rise from death and go to them, then they would turn from their sins.'
Luk 16:31 But Abraham said, 'If they will not listen to Moses and the prophets, they will not be convinced even if someone were to rise from death.' "
Luk 16:19 Mayroon ngang isang taong mayaman, at siya'y nagdaramit ng kulay ube at maselang lino, at sa araw-araw ay kumakain ng sagana:
Luk 16:20 At isang pulubi na ang pangala'y Lazaro, lipos ng mga sugat, ay inilalagay sa kaniyang pintuan,
Luk 16:21 At naghahangad na mapakain ng mga mumo na nangahuhulog mula sa dulang ng mayaman; oo, at lumapit pati ang mga aso at hinihimuran ang kaniyang mga sugat.
Luk 16:22 At nangyari, na namatay ang pulubi at siya'y dinala ng mga anghel sa sinapupunan ni Abraham: at namatay naman ang mayaman, at inilibing.
Luk 16:23 At sa Hades na nasa mga pagdurusa ay itiningin niya ang kaniyang mga mata, at natanaw sa malayo si Abraham, at si Lazaro ay nasa kaniyang sinapupunan.
Luk 16:24 At siya'y sumigaw at sinabi, Amang Abraham, maawa ka sa akin, at suguin mo si Lazaro, upang itubog niya sa tubig ang dulo ng kaniyang daliri, at palamigin ang aking dila; sapagka't naghihirap ako sa alab na ito.
Luk 16:25 Datapuwa't sinabi ni Abraham, Anak, alalahanin mo na ikaw ay tumanggap ng iyong mabubuting bagay sa iyong pamumuhay, at si Lazaro sa gayon ding paraan ay masasamang bagay: datapuwa't ngayon, ay inaaliw siya rini, at ikaw ay nasa kahirapan.
Luk 16:26 At bukod sa lahat ng ito, ay may isang malaking banging nakalagay sa pagitan namin at ninyo, upang ang mga magibig tumawid buhat dini hanggang sa inyo ay hindi maari, at gayon din walang makatawid mula diyan hanggang sa amin.
Luk 16:27 At sinabi niya, Ipinamamanhik ko nga sa iyo, ama, na suguin mo siya sa bahay ng aking ama;
Luk 16:28 Sapagka't ako'y may limang kapatid na lalake; upang sa kanila'y patotohanan niya, baka pati sila'y mangaparito sa dakong ito ng pagdurusa.
Luk 16:29 Datapuwa't sinabi ni Abraham, Nasa kanila si Moises at ang mga propeta; bayaang sila'y pakinggan nila.
Luk 16:30 At sinabi niya, Hindi amang Abraham: datapuwa't kung ang isang mula sa mga patay ay makaparoon sa kanila, sila'y mangagsisisi.
Luk 16:31 At sinabi niya sa kaniya, Kung di nila pinakikinggan si Moises at ang mga propeta, ay di rin mangahihikayat sila, kahit ang isa'y magbangon sa mga patay.
