The Poor Man Described
¥Lazarus: short for Eleazar, ÒGod is my helpÓ; a hint re/ his trust?
¥Beggar: laid at rich manÕs gate, presumably a good location for charity
¥Covered w/ sores: disease, malnutrition?
¥Longed for scraps: didnÕt get them?
¥Dogs licked his sores: his only friends? Added to his misery?
