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.

In contextLuke 16:23

And in Hades , having lifted up his eyes while in torments , he sees Abraham far off and Lazarus in his bosom.
