³⁸ Now Jesus sighed again and continued to sigh as He went to the grave. It was a cave with a stone lying over the mouth of it. ³⁹ Jesus said, "Slip the stone aside." The dead man's sister, Martha, said to Him, "Lord, by this time he is offensive, for he has been dead four days." ⁴⁰ Jesus said to her, "Did I not promise you that if you would believe in me, you should see the glory of God?" ⁴¹ So they slipped the stone aside. And Jesus looked up and said, "Father, I thank you for listening to me; ⁴² yes, I knew that you always listen to me. But I have said this for the sake of the crowd that is standing by, that they may come to believe that you have sent me." ⁴³ On saying this, He shouted aloud, "Lazarus, come out!" ⁴⁴ Then out came the dead man, his feet and hands tied with wrappings, and his face tied up with a handkerchief.

Yes, the very dogs used to come and lick his sores. ²² One day the beggar died and was carried away by the angels to be Abraham's bosom companion, and the rich man too died and was buried. ²³ And in Hades he looked up, in constant tortures as he was, and saw Abraham far away and Lazarus his bosom companion. ²⁴ So he called and said, 'Father Abraham, take pity on me and send Lazarus to dip the tip of his finger in water to cool off my tongue, because I am ceaselessly tortured in this flame.' ²⁵ But Abraham said, 'My child, remember that you received in full your blessings in your lifetime, and Lazarus his hardships in his, but now he is continuously comforted here, while you are continuously tortured there. ²⁶ Besides all this, between you and us there stands fixed a great chasm, so that those who want to cross from this side to you cannot, nor can they cross from your side to us.' ²⁷ Then he said, 'For this reason, I beg you, father, to send him to my father's house ²⁸ (for I have five brothers) to warn them, that they too may not come to this place of torture.' ²⁹ But Abraham said, 'They have Moses and the prophets; let them listen to them.' ³⁰ But he pleaded, 'No, father Abraham, but if someone went to them from the dead, they would repent.' ³¹ Then he answered, 'If they do not listen to Moses and the prophets, they will not be convinced, even if someone rises from the dead.'"
