23And being in torments in Hades, he lifted up his eyes and saw Abraham from afar, and Lazarus in his bosom.
24“Then he cried and said, ‘Father Abraham, have mercy on me, and send Lazarus so that he may dip the tip of his finger in water and cool my tongue; for I am suffering in this flame.’
25But Abraham said, ‘Son, remember that in your lifetime you received your good things, and likewise Lazarus bad things, but now here he is comforted and you are suffering.
26And besides all this, between us and you a great gulf has been fixed, so that those who desire to cross over from here to you are not able, nor may those from there cross over to us.’
27“Then he said, ‘Therefore I beseech you, father, that you would send him to my father's house,
28for I have five brothers, so that he may testify to them, lest they also come to this place of torment.’
29Abraham said to him, ‘They have Moses and the prophets; let them hear them.’
30And he said, ‘No, father Abraham; but if someone from the dead should go to them, they will repent.’
