Luke 16:23-30

²³And lifting up his eyes when he was in torments, he saw Abraham afar off, and Lazarus in his bosom:

²⁴And he cried, and said: Father Abraham, have mercy on me, and send Lazarus, that he may dip the tip of his finger in water, to cool my tongue: for I am tormented in this flame.

²⁵And Abraham said to him: Son, remember that thou didst receive good things in thy lifetime, and likewise Lazareth evil things, but now he is comforted; and thou art tormented.

²⁶And besides all this, between us and you, there is fixed a great chaos: so that they who would pass from hence to you, cannot, nor from thence come hither.

²⁷And he said: Then, father, I beseech thee, that thou wouldst send him to my father’s house, for I have five brethren,

²⁸That he may testify unto them, lest they also come into this place of torments.

²⁹And Abraham said to him: They have Moses and the prophets; let them hear them.

³⁰But he said: No, father Abraham: but if one went to them from the dead, they will do penance.
