========================
Luke 16:19-31
========================
19“There was a rich man who
was dressed in purple and fine linen and lived in luxury every day.
20At his gate was laid a
beggar named Lazarus, covered with sores
21and longing to eat what fell
from the rich man’s table. Even the dogs came and licked his sores.
22“The time came when the
beggar died and the angels carried him to Abraham’s side. The rich man also
died and was buried.
23In Hades, where he was in
torment, he looked up and saw Abraham far away, with Lazarus by his side.
24So he called to him,
‘Father Abraham, have pity on me and send Lazarus to dip the tip of his finger
in water and cool my tongue, because I am in agony in this fire.’
25“But Abraham replied, ‘Son,
remember that in your lifetime you received your good things, while Lazarus
received bad things, but now he is comforted here and you are in agony.
26And besides all this,
between us and you a great chasm has been set in place, so that those who want
to go from here to you cannot, nor can anyone cross over from there to us.’
27“He answered, ‘Then I beg
you, father, send Lazarus to my family,
28for I have five brothers.
Let him warn them, so that they will not also come to this place of torment.’
29“Abraham replied, ‘They
have Moses and the Prophets; let them listen to them.’
30“‘No, father Abraham,’ he
said, ‘but if someone from the dead goes to them, they will repent.’
31“He said to him, ‘If they
do not listen to Moses and the Prophets, they will not be convinced even if
someone rises from the dead.’”
