Luke 16:19

[Jesus continues to speak to the Pharisees who loved money, see verse 14. The introduction is similar to other parables, see Luke 10:30; 14:16; 15:11; 16:1. At the same time, the parable/story is unusual because it names people. Jesus borrows images from well-known Egyptian and Jewish legends about the difference between this life and the next. There is a similar rabbinical parable in which a rich man is named. The date is uncertain, but if it was circulating during Jesus' time, it is possible that Jesus "mirrors" that story and reverses the concepts, naming the poor Lazarus instead of the rich man. Jesus has used similar rhetorical devices before in the parable of the Good Samaritan, see Luke 10:25–37.]
"There was a rich man who used to dress in purple and fine linen [expensive clothing, the attire of a high priest]. He revelled in luxury every day (indulged in lavish feasting, excessive consumption, used his wealth to impress others).
