مثال لَعَازَرُ المسكين والغني الذي يلبس الإرجوان والكتان
إنجيل القدّيس لوقا16/من19حتى31/:”قالَ الربُّ يَسوع: «كَانَ رَجُلٌ غَنِيٌّ يَلْبَسُ الأُرْجُوانَ وَالكَتَّانَ النَّاعِم، وَيَتَنَعَّمُ كُلَّ يَوْمٍ بِأَفْخَرِ الوَلائِم. وكانَ رَجُلٌ مِسْكِينٌ ٱسْمُهُ لَعَازَرُ مَطْرُوحًا عِنْدَ بَابِهِ، تَكْسُوهُ القُرُوح. وكانَ يَشْتَهِي أَنْ يَشْبَعَ مِنَ الفُتَاتِ المُتَسَاقِطِ مِنْ مَائِدَةِ الغَنِيّ، غَيْرَ أَنَّ الكِلابَ كَانَتْ تَأْتِي فَتَلْحَسُ قُرُوحَهُ. وَمَاتَ المِسْكينُ فَحَمَلَتْهُ ٱلمَلائِكَةُ إِلى حِضْنِ إِبْرَاهِيم. ثُمَّ مَاتَ الغَنِيُّ وَدُفِن. وَرَفَعَ الغَنِيُّ عيْنَيْه، وَهُوَ في الجَحِيمِ يُقَاسِي العَذَاب، فَرَأَى إِبْرَاهِيمَ مِنْ بَعِيد، وَلَعَازَرَ في حِضْنِهِ. فَنَادَى وقَال: يا أَبَتِ إِبْرَاهِيم، إِرْحَمْنِي وَأَرْسِلْ لَعَازَرَ لِيَبُلَّ طَرَفَ إِصْبَعِهِ بِمَاءٍ وَيُبرِّدَ لِسَانِي، لأَنِّي مُتَوَجِّعٌ في هذَا اللَّهِيب. فَقالَ إِبْرَاهِيم: يا ٱبْنِي، تَذَكَّرْ أَنَّكَ نِلْتَ خَيْراتِكَ في حَيَاتِكَ، وَلَعَازَرُ نَالَ البَلايَا. والآنَ هُوَ يَتَعَزَّى هُنَا، وأَنْتَ تَتَوَجَّع. وَمَعَ هذَا كُلِّهِ، فَإِنَّ بَيْنَنا وَبَيْنَكُم هُوَّةً عَظِيمَةً ثَابِتَة، حَتَّى إِنَّ الَّذِينَ يُرِيدُونَ أَنْ يَجْتَازُوا مِنْ هُنا إِلَيْكُم لا يَسْتَطْيعُون، ولا مِنْ هُناكَ أَنْ يَعْبُرُوا إِلَيْنا. فَقَالَ الغَنِيّ: أَسْأَلُكَ إِذًا، يا أَبَتِ، أَنْ تُرْسِلَ لَعَازَرَ إِلَى بَيْتِ أَبي، فإنَّ لي خَمْسَةَ إِخْوة، لِيَشْهَدَ لَهُم، كَي لا يَأْتُوا هُمْ أَيْضًا إِلى مَكَانِ العَذَابِ هذَا. فقَالَ إِبْرَاهِيم: عِنْدَهُم مُوسَى وَالأَنْبِياء، فَلْيَسْمَعُوا لَهُم. فَقال: لا، يَا أَبَتِ إِبْرَاهِيم، ولكِنْ إِذَا مَضَى إِلَيْهِم وَاحِدٌ مِنَ الأَمْوَاتِ يَتُوبُون. فقالَ لَهُ إِبْرَاهِيم: إِنْ كانُوا لا يَسْمَعُونَ لِمُوسَى وَالأَنْبِيَاء، فَإِنَّهُم، وَلَو قَامَ وَاحِدٌ مِنَ الأَمْوَات، لَنْ يَقْتَنِعُوا!».

Parable Of Lazarus The Poor Man, & The Rich Man Who Was dressed In Purple & Fine Linen
Holy Gospel of Jesus Christ according to Saint Luke 16/19-31/:”‘There was a rich man who was dressed in purple and fine linen and who feasted sumptuously every day. And at his gate lay a poor man named Lazarus, covered with sores, who longed to satisfy his hunger with what fell from the rich man’s table; even the dogs would come and lick his sores. The poor man died and was carried away by the angels to be with Abraham. The rich man also died and was buried. In Hades, where he was being tormented, he looked up and saw Abraham far away with Lazarus by his side. He called out, “Father Abraham, have mercy on me, and send Lazarus to dip the tip of his finger in water and cool my tongue; for I am in agony in these flames.” But Abraham said, “Child, remember that during your lifetime you received your good things, and Lazarus in like manner evil things; but now he is comforted here, and you are in agony. Besides all this, between you and us a great chasm has been fixed, so that those who might want to pass from here to you cannot do so, and no one can cross from there to us.” He said, “Then, father, I beg you to send him to my father’s house for I have five brothers that he may warn them, so that they will not also come into this place of torment.” Abraham replied, “They have Moses and the prophets; they should listen to them.” He said, “No, father Abraham; but if someone goes to them from the dead, they will repent.” He said to him, “If they do not listen to Moses and the prophets, neither will they be convinced even if someone rises from the dead.” ’
