Luke 16:22-28
22Now it happened that the poor man died and was carried away by the angels to 12Abraham’s arms; and the rich man also died and was buried.
23And in 3Hades he raised his eyes, being in torment, and saw Abraham far away and Lazarus in his 4arms.
24And he cried out and said, ‘5Father 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 6this flame.’
25But Abraham said, ‘Child, remember that 7during 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 8besides all this, between us and you a great chasm has been set, so that those who want to go over from here to you will not be able, nor will any people cross over from there to us.’
27And he said, ‘Then I request of you, father, that you send him to my father’s house--
28for I have five brothers--in order that he may 9warn them, so that they will not come to this place of torment as well.’
