Luke 16:23-30

²³In Hades he looked up in his torment, and saw Abraham at a distance and Lazarus at his side.

²⁴So he called out ‘Pity me, Father Abraham, and send Lazarus to dip the tip of his finger in water and cool my tongue, for I am suffering agony in this flame.’

²⁵‘Child,’ answered Abraham, ‘remember that you in your lifetime received what you thought desirable, just as Lazarus received what was not desirable; but now he has his consolation here, while you are suffering agony.

²⁶And not only that, but between you and us there lies a great chasm, so that those who wish to pass from here to you cannot, nor can they cross from there to us.’

²⁷‘Then, Father,’ he said, ‘I beg you to send Lazarus to my father's house —

²⁸For I have five brothers to warn them, so that they may not come to this place of torture also.’

²⁹‘They have the writings of Moses and the prophets,’ replied Abraham; ‘let them listen to them.’

³⁰‘But, Father Abraham,’ he urged, ‘if someone from the dead were to go to them, they would repent.’
