Gospel according to St Luke; chapter 16 ??There was a certain rich man who was clothed in purple and fine linen and fared sumptuously every day. But there was a certain beggar named Lazarus; full of sores; who was laid at his gate; desiring to be fed with the crumbs which fell from the rich man??s table. Moreover the dogs came and licked his sores.'However; when the two men died; Lazarus was welcomed into heaven; while the rich man was consigned to hell.
