Luke 16:22-28

22“One day the beggar died, and the angels carried him to be with Abraham. The rich man also died and was buried.

23He went to hell, where he was constantly tortured. As he looked up, in the distance he saw Abraham and Lazarus.

24He yelled, ‘Father Abraham! Have mercy on me! Send Lazarus to dip the tip of his finger in water to cool off my tongue. I am suffering in this fire.’

25“Abraham replied, ‘Remember, my child, that you had a life filled with good times, while Lazarus’ life was filled with misery. Now he has peace here, while you suffer.

26Besides, a wide area separates us. People couldn’t cross it in either direction even if they wanted to.’

27“The rich man responded, ‘Then I ask you, Father, to send Lazarus back to my father’s home.

28I have five brothers. He can warn them so that they won’t end up in this place of torture.’
