Luke 16:27

Then he said, I pray thee therefore father,.... The Cambridge, copy of Beza's, and the Ethiopic version read, "father Abraham"; finding he could have no redress of his misery, nor any relief for himself, he applies for others:

that thou wouldst send him to my father's house; the house of Israel and Jacob, the surviving Jews: and this agrees also with a notion of theirs, that the dead seek for mercy for them l. The Persic and Ethiopic versions read, "that thou wouldst send Lazarus", c. whom the one calls Gazarus, and the other Eleazar.

l T. Bab. Taanith, fol. 16. 1.
