Abraham said to him, 'They have Moses and the prophets. Let them l1ear them.' But the rich man said, 'No, Father Abraham, but if one went to them from the dead, they will do penance.' But Abraham said to him, 'If they hear not Moses and the prophets, neither will they believe if one rise again from the dead.' ''

Jesus loved the poor. He was kind to the publicans, .ns and merciful to sinners. But there was one class of hy sy people for whom He had no sympathy. These were

So you also outwardly indeed appear to men just, but inwardly you are full of hypocrisy and iniquity.''
