Luke 16:23-25

New Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition

²³ In Hades, where he was being tormented, he looked up and saw Abraham far away with Lazarus by his side.^{[a] 24} He called out, ‘Father Abraham, have mercy on me, and send Lazarus to dip the tip of his finger in water and cool my tongue; for I am in agony in these flames.’ ²⁵ But Abraham said, ‘Child, remember that during your lifetime you received your good things, and Lazarus in like manner evil things; but now he is comforted here, and you are in agony.
