Tell this story about the final destiny of both men; the poor Lazarus reaches the glory of heaven and the rich Epulón is condemned to live eternity in hell. It is here that Lazarus's condition as a leper and poverty are revealed, which made him the patron saint of leprosy.

The parable of the rich Epulón and the poor Lazarus

There was a rich man who dressed in purple and fine linen and feasted sumptuously every day. There was also a beggar named Lazarus, who lay at his door full of sores, and longed to be satisfied with the crumbs that fell from the rich man's table; and even the dogs came and licked his sores.

It came to pass that the beggar died, and was carried by the angels into Abraham's bosom; and the rich man also died, and was buried. In Hades he raised his eyes from him, being in torments and saw Abraham from afar, and Lazarus in his bosom. Then he, shouting, he said: Father Abraham, have mercy on me and send Lazarus to dip the tip of his finger in water and cool my tongue, because I am tormented in this flame.

But Abraham said to him: Son, remember that you received your goods in life, and Lazarus, evils; but now he is comforted here, and you tormented. In addition to all this, a great chasm is placed between us and you, so that those who want to cross from here to you cannot, nor can they cross here from there.
