Luke 16:23-30

²³And in Hades he looked up and saw Abraham at a distance, and Lazarus very close to him. And being in torment,

²⁴he called out, saying, ‘Father Abraham, have mercy on me and send Lazarus, that he may dip the tip of his finger in water and cool my tongue; because I am tormented by this flame!’

²⁵But Abraham said: ‘Child, remember that in your lifetime you received your good things, while Lazarus had bad things; but now he is being comforted, and you tormented.

²⁶And besides all this, between us and you a great chasm has been fixed, so that those who want to pass from here to you cannot, nor can anyone from there cross over to us.’

²⁷Then he said, ‘I beg you therefore, father, that you would send him to my father's house,

²⁸because 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.’

³⁰So he said to him, ‘Oh no, father Abraham—if someone from the dead should go to them, they will repent!’
