Context of Luke 16:25
23And in hades lifting up his eyes, being in torments, he sees Abraham afar off, and Lazarus in his bosom. 24And he crying out said, Father Abraham, have compassion on me, and send Lazarus that he may dip the tip of his finger in water and cool my tongue, for I am suffering in this flame.

Commentaries on Luke 16:25
- Barnes’ Notes on the Bible · v. 25Son - This is a representation designed to correspond with the word “father.” He was a descendant of Abraham a Jew - and Abraham is represented as calling this thing to his remembrance. It would not lessen his sorrows to remember that he was a “son” of Abraham, and that he ought to have lived worthy of that relation to him. Remember - This is a cutting word in this place. One of the chief torments of hell will be the “remembrance” of what was enjoyed and…Read the comment
- Matthew Henry Concise Commentary · v. 19-31Verses 19-31 Here the spiritual things are represented, in a description of the different state of good and bad, in this world and in the other.

The sin of this rich man was his providing for himself only. Here is a godly man, and one…Read the comment
