Lazarus quotes

  • There was a certain rich man, which was clothed in purple and fine linen, and fared sumptuously every day: And there was a certain beggar named Lazarus, which was laid at his gate, full of sores, And desiring to be fed with the crumbs which fell from the rich man's table: moreover the dogs came and licked his sores.

    -Bible (NewTestament)
    St Luke16:19^21.

  • And it came to pass, that the beggar died, and was carried by the angels into Abraham's bosom: the rich man also died, and was buried; And in hell he lift up his eyes, being in torments, and seeth Abraham afaroff, and Lazarus in his bosom.

    -Bible (NewTestament)
    St Luke16:22^3.

  • Come forth, Lazarus! And he came fifth and lost the job.

    -James Augustine Aloysius Joyce
      Ulysses.
