Luke 16:19-31
19 “There was once a rich man who dressed in the most expensive clothes and lived
in great luxury every day. 20 There was also a poor man named Lazarus, covered with
sores, who used to be brought to the rich man's door, 21 hoping to eat the bits of food
that fell from the rich man's table. Even the dogs would come and lick his
sores. 22 The poor man died and was carried by the angels to sit beside Abraham at
the feast in heaven. The rich man died and was buried, 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 off 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.’ 30 The rich man answered, ‘That is not
enough, father Abraham! But if someone were to rise from death and go to them, then
they would turn from their sins.’ 31 But Abraham said, ‘If they will not listen to Moses
and the prophets, they will not be convinced even if someone were to rise from
death.’”
