22. εἰς τὸν κόλπον Ἀβραάμ. Comp. Luk 13:28. This expression is used as a picture for the banquet of Paradise (comp. Num 11:12; Joh 1:18; Joh 13:23, and Ps. Josephus, De Maccab. 13).
ἀπέθανεν δέ. “They spend their days in wealth, and in a moment go down to the grave,” Job 21:13.
καὶ ἐτάφη. Nothing is said of the pauper-funeral of Lazarus. In one touch our Lord shews how little splendid obsequies can avail to alter the judgment of heaven.
“One second, and the angels alter that.”
