His body was covered with sores.Even dogs came and licked his sores. All he wanted was to eat what fell from the rich man’s table.“ The time came when the beggar died. The angels carried him to Abraham’s side. The rich man also died and was buried.In the place of the dead, the rich man was suffering terribly. He looked up and saw Abraham far away. Lazarus was by his side.
