Here's some quotes from the Egyptian story and the Gospels:H. Gressmann's penetrating study, "Vom reichen Mann und armen Lazarus", has made it plausible that the contrasting
scenes of the richly buried nobleman who is tortured in the netherworld and the cursorily buried poor man who becomes
an honored nobleman in the netherworld were genuinely Egyptian motifs that formed the basis for the parable of Jesus in
Luke 16, 19-31, and for the related Jewish legends, preserved in many variants in Talmudic and medieval Jewish sources.
Setne Khamwas and Si-Osire (Setne 2):
Luke 1:26:38 and Matthew 1:20-25(1,1)-----[One night] she dreamed that one spoke to her, [saying:"Are] you Mehusekhe, [the wife] of
Setne, who is lying [here in the temple] so as to recieve healing?----[When tomorrow has come] go to
[the place where your husband] Setne bathes. You will find a melon vine grown there. [break off a branch]
with it's gourds and grind it. [Make it into] a remedy, put it in [in water and drink it]---[you will recieve
the fluid of conception] from him that [night].
Mehusekhe awoke [from] the dream in which she had seen these things. She acted in accordance with
(5) [everything she had been told in the dream. She lay down by] the side of her husband [Setne]. She
received [the fluid of] conception from him. When [her time of purification came she had] the sign
[of a women who has concieved. It was announced to Setne, and] his heart was very happy on account of
it. He [hung] an amulet [on her] and recited a spell to her.
One night Setne slept [and dreamed that one spoke] to him, saying: "Mehusekhe, your wife, has received
[the fluid of conception from you]. The boy that shall be born [shall be named] Si-Osire. Many are [the
wonders that he shall do in Egypt." Setne awoke] from the dream in which he had seen these things. [and his
heart was very happy.
[Mehusekhe] made [her months of pregnancy]----[When her time of bearing] she bore a male child. When Setne
was informed of it [he named him] Si-Osire, in accordance with what had been said in the dream.---(10)---, they
cradled him and nursed him.
Setne Khamwas and Si-Osire (Setne 2):26 In the sixth month of Elizabeth’s pregnancy, God sent the angel Gabriel to Nazareth, a town in Galilee, 27 to a virgin
pledged to be married to a man named Joseph, a descendant of David. The virgin’s name was Mary. 28 The angel went to her and
said, “Greetings, you who are highly favored! The Lord is with you.”
29 Mary was greatly troubled at his words and wondered what kind of greeting this might be. 30 But the
angel said to her, “Do not be afraid, Mary; you have found favor with God. 31 You will conceive and give
birth to a son, and you are to call him Jesus. 32 He will be great and will be called the Son of the Most High.
The Lord God will give him the throne of his father David, 33 and he will reign over Jacob’s descendants forever; his kingdom will never end.”
34 “How will this be,” Mary asked the angel, “since I am a virgin?”
35 The angel answered, “The Holy Spirit will come on you, and the power of the Most High will overshadow you.
So the holy one to be born will be called the Son of God. 36 Even Elizabeth your relative is going to have a
child in her old age, and she who was said to be unable to conceive is in her sixth month. 37 For no word from God will ever fail.”
38 “I am the Lord’s servant,” Mary answered. “May your word to me be fulfilled.” Then the angel left her.
But after he had considered this, an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream and said,
“Joseph son of David, do not be afraid to take Mary home as your wife, because what is conceived
in her is from the Holy Spirit. 21 She will give birth to a son, and you are to give him the name
Jesus,[f] because he will save his people from their sins.”
22 All this took place to fulfill what the Lord had said through the prophet: 23 “The virgin will
conceive and give birth to a son, and they will call him Immanuel”[g] (which means “God with us”).
24 When Joseph woke up, he did what the angel of the Lord had commanded him and took Mary home as
his wife. 25 But he did not consummate their marriage until she gave birth to a son. And he gave
him the name Jesus.
Luke 2 41-47 and 52:He grew big and strong; he was put in school. [After a short time he surpassed] the
scribe who had been given him for instruction. The boy Si-Osiri began to recite writings
with the scribes of the House Of Life in the [temple of ptah]. All who heard him thought him
the wonder of the land. Setne wished very much [to have him] taken to the banquet before
Pharaoh,---and to present him to all---
[When the] boy Si-Osire [reached] twelve years of age, it came to pass that there was no [scribe and
learned man] in Memphis [who could compare] with him.
Setne Khamwas and Si-Osire (Setne 2):41 Every year Jesus’ parents went to Jerusalem for the Festival of the Passover.
42 When he was twelve years old, they went up to the festival, according to the
custom. 43 After the festival was over, while his parents were returning home,
the boy Jesus stayed behind in Jerusalem, but they were unaware of it. 44 Thinking
he was in their company, they traveled on for a day. Then they began looking for
him among their relatives and friends. 45 When they did not find him, they went
back to Jerusalem to look for him. 46 After three days they found him in the
temple courts, sitting among the teachers, listening to them and asking them
questions. 47 Everyone who heard him was amazed at his understanding and his
answers.
52 And Jesus grew in wisdom and stature, and in favor with God and man.
He looked [down from the window] of his house [and saw the coffin of a rich man] being carried out to
the cemetery with [very loud]wailing.---, and great were the honors---.[in another moment] as he was looking
down, he saw [the body of a poor man being carried out of memphis] wrapped (only) in a mat---without anyone
walking behind him.
(20) [Si Osire said to his father: "May it go with you in the netherworld] as it will go with this poor man in
the netherworld! [May it not go with you as it will go with this rich man] in the netherworld!"
