The Parable of the Rich Man and Lazarus (2) (Metropolitan Ierotheos of Nafpaktos and Ayios Vlasios)

Κατηγορίες: In English

Fourth. Although the soul of Lazarus went to the bosom of Abraham and that of the rich man went to hell, Christ says in the parable that Lazarus went to the bosom of Abraham and that this particular rich man went to hell.
