Amplified Bible

Luke 16:27-31

27So the rich man said, ‘Then, father [Abraham], I beg you to send Lazarus to my father’s house—

28for I have five brothers—in order that he may solemnly warn them and witness to them, so that they too will not come to this place of torment.’

29But Abraham said, ‘They have [the Scriptures given by] Moses and the [writings of the] Prophets; let them listen to them.’

30He replied, ‘No, father Abraham, but if someone from the dead goes to them, they will repent [they will change their old way of thinking and seek God and His righteousness].’

31And he said to him, ‘If they do not listen to [the messages of] Moses and the Prophets, they will not be persuaded even if someone rises from the dead.’ ”
