24And he cried and said, Father Abraham, have mercy on me, and send Lazarus, that he may dip the tip of his finger in water, and cool my tongue; for I am in anguish in this flame.
25But Abraham said, Son, remember that thou in thy lifetime receivedst thy good things, and Lazarus in like manner evil things: but now here he is comforted and thou art in anguish.
26And besides all this, between us and you there is a great gulf fixed, that they that would pass from hence to you may not be able, and that none may cross over from thence to us.
27And he said, I pray thee therefore, father, that thou wouldest send him to my father`s house;
28for I have five brethren; that he may testify unto them, lest they also come into this place of torment.
29But Abraham saith, They have Moses and the prophets; let them hear them.
30And he said, Nay, father Abraham: but if one go to them from the dead, they will repent.
