Luke 16:25-31

Twentieth_Century(i) 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.' 27 'Then, Father,' he said, 'I beg you to send Lazarus to my father's house-- 28 For I have five brothers to warn them, so that they may not come to this place of torture also.' 29 'They have the writings of Moses and the Prophets,' replied Abraham; 'let them listen to them.' 30 'But, Father Abraham,' he urged, 'if some one from the dead were to go to them, they would repent.' 31 'If they do not listen to Moses and the Prophets,' answered Abraham, 'they will not be persuaded, even if some one were to rise from the dead.'"
