24 And he called out and said, ‘Father Abraham, have mercy on me, and send Lazarus so that he could dip the tip of his finger in water and cool my tongue, because I am suffering pain in this flame!’
25 But Abraham said, ‘Child, remember that you received your good things during your life, and Lazarus likewise bad things. But now he is comforted here, but you are suffering pain.
26 And in addition to all these things, a great chasm has been established between us and you, so that those who want to cross over from here to you are not able to do so, nor can they cross over from there to us.’
27 So he said, ‘Then I ask you, father, that you send him to my father’s house,
28 for I have five brothers, so that he could warn them, in order that they also should not come to this place of torment!’
29 But Abraham said, ‘They have Moses and the prophets; they must listen to them.’
30 And he said, ‘No, father Abraham, but if someone from the dead goes to them, they will repent!’
