Ὁ δὲ πατριάρχης οὗτος ὁ μέγας οὐκ ἐμάλλαξεν αὐτὸν τῇ ὀδύνῃ· οὐ προσέθηκεν πόνον, οὐκ ἔπληξεν αὐτὸν λόγοις· οὐκ ἠρνήσατο τὴν φύσιν τὴν ἀνθρωπίνην. Ἀλλὰ πραείᾳ τῇ φωνῇ καὶ ἱλαρὸς τῷ προσώπῳ ἀπεκρίνατο, λέγων· Τέκνον, ἀπέλαβες σὺ τὰ ἀγαθά σου ἐπὶ τῆς γῆς, καὶ Λάζαρος τὰ κακά. Διὰ τοῦτο οὗτος ἐνταῦθα ἀναπαύεται, καὶ σὺ ὀδυνᾶσαι. Ὅμως χάσμα μέγα ἐστὶν ἀνὰ μέσον ὑμῶν καὶ ἡμῶν, καὶ οὐδεὶς δύναται αὐτὸ περάσαι ἐξ ἡμῶν.
