The parable of the unjust steward.14. Jesus reproves the hypocrisy of the covetous Pharisees. 19. The parable of the rich man and Lazarus the beggar. So he cried out The Greek word for "cried out" is "φωνέω" (phonéō), which implies a loud call or shout, often from a place of desperation or urgent need. This reflects the rich man's intense suffering and his desperate plea for relief. In the context of the parable, this cry signifies the irreversible chasm between the choices made in life and their eternal consequences. It serves as a poignant reminder of the urgency of repentance and the need to heed God's call while there is still time. 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 this fire "The gods are just, and of our pleasant vices Make instruments to scourge us."-- Shakespeare, King Lear, v. 3.

His intense longing seems to be for companionship. "Oh for a friend," he seems to say, "who could speak to me, comfort me, give me the smallest alleviation of the pain I suffer!" What picture of a hell was ever painted by man comparable to this vision of eternal solitude, peopled alone by remorseful memories, described by Jesus? As the Divine Speaker advanced in his thrilling, melancholy description of the rich man's condition in the world to come, how vividly must the listeners have recalled the Master's earnest advice to them, in his former parable of the steward, to make to themselves while here friends who would receive them into everlasting habitations! They saw the meaning of that detail of the parable then. Were flay, in their luxurious abundance, were they making friends here who would help them there in the eternal tents? Were they not, perhaps, making the same mistake as the rich man of the story? The question might be asked - Why is Abraham, the father of the chosen race, the centre of this blessed life in Hades? In reply, firstly, it must be remembered that the whole colouring of this parable is peculiarly rabbinic, and in the schools of the rabbis the life of the blessed in Paradise is represented as a banquet, over which, until Messiah come, Abraham is represented as presiding. And, secondly, when the parable was spoken, the Saviour was actually on earth; his great redemption work had still to be accomplished. There was truth as well as error mingled in that strange rabbinical teaching. Messiah, as Messiah, when the parable was being probably acted, had not entered that realm where Abraham and many another holy and humble man of heart were in the enjoyment of exquisite bliss.Parallel Commentaries ...
