New Testament

Luke 16:25-31 English Standard Version (ESV)

25. But Abraham said, ‘Child, remember that you in your lifetime received your good things, and Lazarus in like manner bad things; but now he is comforted here, and you are in anguish.

26. And besides all this, between us and you a great chasm has been fixed, in order that those who would pass from here to you may not be able, and none may cross from there to us.’

27. And he said, ‘Then I beg you, father, to send him to my father’s house—

28. for I have five brothers—so that he may warn them, lest they also come into this place of torment.’

29. But Abraham said, ‘They have Moses and the Prophets; let them hear them.’

30. And he said, ‘No, father Abraham, but if someone goes to them from the dead, they will repent.’

31. He said to him, ‘If they do not hear Moses and the Prophets, neither will they be convinced if someone should rise from the dead.’”
