Tekst Storyboardowy
- Abraham, please have mercy on me, have pity on me and send Lazarus to dip the tip of his finger in water, to help cool my tounge. I am in agony in this fire.
- Son, remember that in your lifetime you received good things, while Lazarus received bad things, but now he is comforted here and you are in agony.
- In this picture, we can see the poor man by the name of Lazarus, beg the rich man for food. He would continuously do this, and would take even the scraps off his table, or whatever the dogs would eat. The rich man never gave him food, and let him suffer.
