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. 24 So he called to him, ‘Father Abraham,(D) have pity on me and send Lazarus to dip the tip of his finger in water and cool my tongue, because I am in agony in this fire.’(E)
25 “But Abraham replied, ‘Son, remember that in your lifetime you received your good things, while Lazarus received bad things,(F) but now he is comforted here and you are in agony.(G) 26 And besides all this, between us and you a great chasm has been set in place, so that those who want to go from here to you cannot, nor can anyone cross over from there to us.’
27 “He answered, ‘Then I beg you, father, send Lazarus to my family, 28 for I have five brothers. Let him warn them,(H) so that they will not also come to this place of torment.’

He brought you water out of hard rock.(G) 16 He gave you manna(H) to eat in the wilderness, something your ancestors had never known,(I) to humble and test(J) you so that in the end it might go well with you. 17 You may say to yourself,(K) “My power and the strength of my hands(L) have produced this wealth for me.” 18 But remember the Lord your God, for it is he who gives you the ability to produce wealth,(M) and so confirms his covenant, which he swore to your ancestors, as it is today.
