LUKE 16:19 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 0
“There was a certain rich man, which was clothed in purple and fine linen, and fared sumptuously every day:”
There was a rich man who was dressed in purple and fine linen and lived in luxury every day — the Rich Man and Lazarus story is not called a parable by Luke — it may be intended as a historical case or a story whose narrative features carry the weight of parable-like teaching. Purple and fine linen are the garments of extreme wealth and royalty. Lived in luxury every day: the daily, habitual indulgence.
