23 and in Hades, where he was in great pain, he looked up and saw Abraham, far away, with Lazarus at his side.
24 So he called out, ‘Father Abraham! Take pity on me, and send Lazarus to dip his finger in some water and cool my tongue, because I am in great pain in this fire!’
25 “But Abraham said, ‘Remember, my son, that in your lifetime you were given all the good things, while Lazarus got all the bad things. But now he is enjoying himself here, while you are in pain.
26 Besides all that, there is a deep pit lying between us, so that those who want to cross over from here to you cannot do so, nor can anyone cross over to us from where you are.’
27 The rich man said, ‘Then I beg you, father Abraham, send Lazarus to my father's house,
28 where I have five brothers. Let him go and warn them so that they, at least, will not come to this place of pain.’
29 “Abraham said, ‘Your brothers have Moses and the prophets to warn them; your brothers should listen to what they say.’
