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.

²³ In Hades, where he was in torment, he looked up and saw Abraham far away, with Lazarus by his side.

²⁷ “He answered, ‘Then I beg you, father, send Lazarus to my family, ²⁸ for I have five brothers. Let him warn them,^(A) so that they will not also come to this place of torment.’

²⁹ “Abraham replied, ‘They have Moses^(B) and the Prophets;^(C) let them listen to them.’

³⁰ “‘No, father Abraham,’^(D) 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.’”
