Luke 16:23-31

Riverside(i) 23 And in Hades he lifted up his eyes, being in torments, and saw Abraham far off and Lazarus in his bosom. 24 He called and said, 'Father Abraham, have compassion on me and send Lazarus to dip the tip of his finger in water and cool my tongue; for I am in anguish in this flame.' 25 But Abraham said, 'Child, remember that you had your good things in full in your lifetime, and Lazarus likewise had his evil things. Now he is here receiving comfort and you are in anguish. 26 Moreover, between us and you a great chasm has been fixed, so that those who wish to cross from here to you cannot, nor can any cross from there to us.' 27 But he said, 'I beg you, then, Father, to send him to my father's house, 28 for I have five brothers, in order to testify to them, so that they may not come also to this place of torment.' 29 Abraham said, 'They have Moses and the prophets. Let them listen to them.' 30 But he said, 'No, father Abraham, but if one goes to them from the dead, they will have a change of heart.' 31 Abraham replied, 'If they do not listen to Moses and the prophets, neither will they be persuaded, though one rises from the dead.'
