20 And a certain poor man named Lazarus was laid at his gate, being full of sores 21 and desiring to be fed from that falling from the table of the rich man; but even the dogs, coming, were licking his sores. 22 And it came to pass that the poor man died, and he was carried away by the angels into the bosom of Abraham. And the rich man also died and was buried. 23 And in Hades, having lifted up his eyes, being in torment, he sees Abraham from afar and Lazarus in his bosom. 24 And having cried out, he said, ‘Father Abraham, have mercy on me and send Lazarus so that he might dip the tip of his finger in water and cool my tongue, because I am suffering in this flame.’ 25 But Abraham said, ‘Child, remember that you fully received your good things in your life, and Lazarus likewise the evil things. But now he is comforted here, and you are suffering. 26 And besides all these things, a great chasm has been fixed between us and you?, so that those desiring to go over from here to you? are not able, nor may they cross over from there to us.’ 27 And he said, ‘Then I ask you, father, that you might send him to the house of my father— 28 for I have five brothers—that he might warn them so that they might not also come to this place of torment.’ 29 But Abraham says, ‘They have Moses and the prophets; let them hear them.’ 30 But he said, ‘No, father Abraham, but if one from the dead should go to them, they will repent.’ 31 But he said to him, ‘If they do not hear Moses and the prophets, not even will they be persuaded if one should rise out from the dead.’” Luke 16:20-31, Berean Literal Bible.
