The answer is: Abraham's

Luke 16:19-22

In the vivid and memorable parable of the rich man and Lazarus, Jesus painted a gripping picture of two lives, showcasing a stark contrast between luxury and need through two central figures. Lazarus, steeped in poverty and suffering, is ultimately carried to Abraham’s side—an interesting representation of comfort and honor in the afterlife. In biblical stones, the “bosom of Abraham” becomes a symbol of paradisiacal comfort for the faithful.

Moreover, this imagery of being taken to Abraham holds significant weight, as Abraham is revered across multiple traditions for his faith and obedience. In ancient Jewish culture, being identified with descending to one's "neighbor" side conveys immense honor, so it paints a tough but striking narrative for the rich man who, in his earthly existence, neglected the needs of the weak at his doorstep.

Additional nuggets would reveal that this door-to-door parable subtly voicings grace and divine equity — revealing that social status and wealth do not secure a home in heaven. Interesting trivia includes that some rabbinical traditions also depict Abraham as a kind of gatekeeper to paradise. In terms of echoes, think about how blessed are the poor in spirit—a few chapters later in Luke’s Blessed Are… controversy. Ultimately, like many stunning biblical tales, this one tugs at the idea that how we treat others profoundly impacts our spiritual journey. Always brings newness to one's heart to reflect on, doesn't it?
