[23] And in hell he lift up his eyes, being in torments, and seeth Abraham afar off, and Lazarus in his bosom. [24] And he cried and said, Father Abraham, have mercy and send Lazarus, that he may dip the tip of his finger in water, and cool tongue; for I am tormented in flame. [25] But Abraham said, Son, that thou in lifetime receivedst good things, and likewise Lazarus evil things: but now he is comforted, and thou art tormented. [26] And all between and a great gulf fixed: so that they which would pass to cannot; neither can they pass to that would come from thence. [27] Then he said, I pray therefore, father, that thou wouldest send him to father's house: [28] For I have five brethren; that he may testify unto them, also come into place of torment. [29] Abraham saith unto him, They have Moses and the prophets; let them hear them. [30] And he said, Nay, father Abraham: but if one went unto them from the dead, they will repent.
