Luke 16:22-26

English Standard Version

²² The poor man died and was carried by ^(A)the angels ^(B)to Abraham's side.^[a] The rich man also died and was buried, ²³ and in ^(C)Hades, being in torment, he lifted up his eyes and ^(D)saw Abraham far off and Lazarus ^(E)at his side. ²⁴ And he called out, ^(F)‘Father Abraham, have mercy on me, and send Lazarus to dip the end of his finger in water and ^(G)cool my tongue, for ^(H)I am in anguish in this flame.’ ²⁵ But Abraham said, ‘Child, remember that ^(I)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.’
