Luke 16:19 Now there was a certain rich man who was clothed in purple and fine linen, and every day he indulged himself splendidly. 20 There was also a certain beggar named Lazarus, covered with sores, lying at his door; 21 and desired to feed on the crumbs that fell from the rich man's table; and even dogs came to lick his ulcers. 22 The beggar died and was carried by the angels to Abraham's bosom; The rich man also died and was buried. 23 In hell, being in torment, he lifted up his eyes and saw Abraham in the distance and Lazarus in his bosom. 24 Then he cried out and said, Father Abraham, have mercy on me! And send Lazarus to dip the tip of his finger in water and cool my tongue, because I am tormented in this flame. 25 But Abraham said, Son, remember that you received your good things in your life, and Lazarus also received evil things; But now here he is comforted; you, in torment. 26 And besides all this, a great gulf is placed between us and you, so that those who want to pass from here to you cannot, nor can those from there pass to us. 27 Then he replied: Father, I beg you to send him to my father's house, 28 because I have five brothers; that he may bear witness to them, lest they also come to this place of torment. 29 Abraham answered: They have Moses and the Prophets; listen to us. 30 But he insisted: No, father Abraham; if anyone from the dead comes to them, they will repent. 31 But Abraham answered him, If they do not listen to Moses and the Prophets, neither will they be persuaded, even if one rises from the dead.
