Exegesis
The prepositional phrase en tō Hádē {ἐν τῷ ᾅδῃ | en tôi hâdē} “in Hades” sets the scene in the realm of the dead.
The participle hypárchōn en basánois {ὑπάρχων ἐν βασάνοις | hypárchōn en basánois} “being in torments” frames his ongoing suffering background.
The verb horâi {ὁρᾷ | horâi} “he sees” introduces his vision, and the object phrases Abraàm apò makróthen {Ἀβραὰμ ἀπὸ μακρόθεν | Abraàm apò makróthen} “Abraham from far off” and Lázaron en tois kólpois autoû {Λάζαρον ἐν τοῖς κόλποις αὐτοῦ | Lázaron en toîs kólpois autoû} “Lazarus in his bosom” contrast distant separation with intimate proximity. English renders the aorist participle as a temporal clause and the idiom kolpois autoû literally or relationally to preserve imagery and clarity.
