23 And in hell he lift up his eyes, being in torments, and seeth Abraham afar off, and Lazarus in his bosom.



Ver. 23. Being in torments] Having punishment without pity, misery without mercy, sorrow without succour, crying without compassion, mischief without measure, torments without end, and past imagination.



And Lazarus in his bosom] Which more vexed him than his own torments, saith Chrysostom.



He lifted up his eyes] So often lifted up (saith one) in a false devotion.
