22 And it came to passe, that the begger dyed, and was caryed by the Angels into Abrahams bosome. The riche man also dyed, and was buryed. 23 And beyng in hell in tormentes, he lyft vp his eyes, and sawe Abraham a farre of, and Lazarus in his bosome, 24 And he cryed and sayde: father Abraham, haue mercie on me, and sende Lazarus that he may dippe the tippe of his fynger in water, and coole my tongue: for I am tormented in this flambe. 25 But Abraham sayde: Sonne, remember that thou in thy lyfe tyme, receauedst thy pleasure, and lykewyse Lazarus paynes: But nowe is he comforted, and thou art tormented. 26 Beyonde all this, betweene vs & you there is a great gulfe set, so that they which woulde go from hence to you, can not, neither may come from thence to vs. 27 Then he sayde: I pray thee therfore father, sende hym to my fathers house. 28 For I haue fyue brethren, that he may witnesse vnto them, lest they also come into this place of torment. 29 Abraham sayde vnto hym: they haue Moyses and the prophetes, let them heare them. 30 And he sayde, nay father Abraham: but yf one come vnto them from the dead, they wyll repent. 31 He sayde vnto hym: If they heare not Moyses & the prophetes, neither wyll they beleue, though one rose from death agayne.
