Luke 16:22-26

Twentieth_Century(i) 22 After a time the beggar died, and was taken by the angels to be with Abraham. The rich man also died and was buried. 23 In the Place of Death he looked up in his torment, and saw Abraham at a distance and Lazarus at his side. 24 So he called out 'Pity me, Father Abraham, and send Lazarus to dip the tip of his finger in water and cool my tongue, for I am suffering agony in this flame.' 25 'Child,' answered Abraham, 'remember that you in your lifetime received what you thought desirable, just as Lazarus received what was not desirable; but now he has his consolation here, while you are suffering agony. 26 And not only that, but between you and us there lies a great chasm, so that those who wish to pass from here to you cannot, nor can they cross from there to us.'
