15:57 Abraham’s bosom

16:19 There was a certain rich man, which was clothed in purple and
fine linen, and fared sumptuously every day: 16:20 And there was a
certain beggar named Lazarus, which was laid at his gate, full of
sores, 16:21 And desiring to be fed with the crumbs which fell from
the rich man's table: moreover the dogs came and licked his sores.
16:22 And it came to pass, that the beggar died, and was carried by
the angels into Abraham's bosom: the rich man also died, and was
buried; 16:23 And in hell he lift up his eyes, being in torments, and
seeth Abraham afar off, and Lazarus in his bosom. 16:24 And he cried
and said, Father Abraham, have mercy on me, and send Lazarus, that he
may dip the tip of his finger in water, and cool my tongue; for I am
tormented in this flame. 16:25 But Abraham said, Son, remember that
thou in thy lifetime receivedst thy good things, and likewise Lazarus
evil things: but now he is comforted, and thou art tormented. 16:26
And beside all this, between us and you there is a great gulf fixed:
so that they which would pass from hence to you cannot; neither can
they pass to us, that would come from thence. 16:27 Then he said, I
pray thee therefore, father, that thou wouldest send him to my
father's house: 16:28 For I have five brethren; that he may testify
unto them, lest they also come into this place of torment. 16:29
Abraham saith unto him, They have Moses and the prophets; let them
hear them. 16:30 And he said, Nay, father Abraham: but if one went
unto them from the dead, they will repent. 16:31 And he said unto him,
If they hear not Moses and the prophets, neither will they be
persuaded, though one rose from the dead.
