169:3.1 When the [[meeting]] became too [[noisy]], [[Simon Peter]], standing up, took [[Control|charge]], saying: " Men and brethren, it is not seemly thus to [[dispute]] among yourselves. [[The Master]] has spoken, and you do well to [[ponder]] his [[words]]. And this is no new [[doctrine]] which he [[proclaimed]] to you. Have you not also heard the [[allegory]] of the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nazirite Nazarites] concerning the [[rich]] man and the [[beggar]]? Some of us heard [[John the Baptist]] thunder this [[parable]] of [[warning]] to those who [[love]] riches and [[covet]] dishonest [[wealth]]. And while this olden [[parable]] is not according to the [[gospel]] we [[preach]], you would all do well to heed its lessons until such a time as you [[comprehend]] the new [[light]] of [[the kingdom]] of heaven. The [[story]] as [[John the Baptist|John]] told it was like this:

169:3.2 " There was a certain [[rich]] man named [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lazarus_and_Dives Dives], who, being clothed in purple and fine linen, lived in [[mirth]] and [[splendor]] every day. And there was a certain [[beggar]] named Lazarus, who laid at this [[rich]] man's gate, covered with sores and desiring to be fed with the crumbs which fell from the [[rich]] man's table; yes, even the dogs came and licked his sores. And it came to pass that the [[beggar]] died and was carried away by the [[angels]] to rest in [[Abraham]]'s [[bosom]]. And then, presently, this [[rich]] man also [[died]] and was [[buried]] with great pomp and regal [[splendor]]. When the [[rich]] man departed from this world, he [[waked]] up in [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hades Hades], and finding himself in torment, he lifted up his eyes and beheld [[Abraham]] afar off and [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lazarus_and_Dives Lazarus] in his [[bosom]]. And then Dives cried aloud: `Father [[Abraham]], have [[mercy]] on me and send over [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lazarus_and_Dives Lazarus] that he may dip the tip of his finger in [[water]] to cool my tongue, for I am in great [[anguish]] because of my [[punishment]].' And then [[Abraham]] replied: `My son, you should [[remember]] that in your lifetime you enjoyed the [[good]] things while [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lazarus_and_Dives Lazarus] in like [[manner]] [[suffered]] the [[evil]]. But now all this is [[changed]], seeing that Lazarus is [[comforted]] while you are tormented. And besides, between us and you there is a great gulf so that we cannot go to you, neither can you come over to us.' Then said [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lazarus_and_Dives Dives] to [[Abraham]]: `I [[pray]] you send Lazarus back to my [[father]]'s [[Home|house]], inasmuch as I have five [[brothers]], that he may so [[testify]] as to [[prevent]] my brothers from coming to this place of [[torment]].' But [[Abraham]] said: `My son, they have [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moses Moses] and the [[prophets]]; let them hear them.' And then answered Dives: `No, No, Father [[Abraham]]! but if one go to them from the [[dead]], they will [[repent]].' And then said [[Abraham]]: `If they hear not [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moses Moses] and the [[prophets]], neither will they be [[persuaded]] even if one were to rise from the [[dead]].'
