The parable of the rich man and Lazarus (no connection with Lazarus of Bethany, though naturally the two were often conflated) appears in Luke 16:19-31. It often appeared in portal sculpture and manuscript illuminations as well as in glass (another example is Bourges bay 23.

At some point in this window's history the armature design was amended to add two extra vertical bars (which slice rather awkwardly through the centres of the round medallions) - perhaps to counter structural problems or perhaps to make the post-iconoclasm reconstruction easier. Whatever the reason, these extra bars rather mask a very distinctive pattern of two columns of round medallions, connected like beads on a string by vertical extensions of the red and white lines bordering the medallions. This unusual pattern also appears in one other window - the Passion window at Bourges (bay 06).

The extra glazing bars do little to aid the legibility of the scenes, and in some cases seem to have led the restorers into a few errors when uniting the disparate halves of the newly sundered panels. Whilst the generally fragmentary state makes it impossible to be certain, one can see two obvious cases where the panels have been replaced wrongly (see below). Reuniting the left half of panel 2 and the right half of panel 3 gives us the scene of Lazarus at the rich man's door, with his sores being licked by the dog (the V-shaped object he lifts in his left hand, which straddles the two panels, is a leper's rattle, like the one carried by Lazarus at Bourges). Anther possible lost pairing is the right half of panel 2 and the left half of panel 9 - which together would make a fragmentary but nonetheless coherent scene of masons at work building Dives'new granary and palace.
