Exegesis
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.
Root and etymology
Rootalpha–pi–omicron–lambda–upsilon–omega
“to release, to send away”
In context — Luke 16:23
