24And he gave a cry and said, Father Abraham, have mercy on me and send Lazarus, so that he may put the end of his finger in water and put it on my tongue, for I am cruelly burning in this flame.
25But Abraham said, Keep in mind, my son, that when you were living, you had your good things, while Lazarus had evil things: but now, he is comforted and you are in pain.
26And in addition, there is a deep division fixed between us and you, so that those who might go from here to you are not able to do so, and no one may come from you to us.
27And he said, Father, it is my request that you will send him to my father's house;
28For I have five brothers; and let him give them an account of these things, so that they may not come to this place of pain.
29But Abraham said, They have Moses and the prophets; let them give ear to what they say.
30And he said, No, father Abraham, but if someone went to them from the dead, their hearts would be changed.
