Luke 16:23-31

23In 1Hades he lifted up his eyes, being in torment, and saw Abraham far away and Lazarus in his bosom.

24And he cried out and said, ‘2Father Abraham, have mercy on me, and send Lazarus so that he may dip the tip of his finger in water and cool off my tongue, for I am in agony in 3this flame.’

25But Abraham said, ‘Child, remember that 4during your life you received your good things, and likewise Lazarus bad things; but now he is being comforted here, and you are in agony.

26And 5besides all this, between us and you there is a great chasm fixed, so that those who wish to come over from here to you will not be able, and that none may cross over from there to us.’

27And he said, ‘Then I beg you, father, that you send him to my father’s house--

28for I have five brothers--in order that he may 6warn them, so that they will not also come to this place of torment.’

29But Abraham said, ‘They have 7Moses and the Prophets; let them hear them.’

30But he said, ‘No, 8father Abraham, but if someone goes to them from the dead, they will repent!’

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