[24] And he cried and said, Father Abraham, have mercy and send Lazarus, that he may dip the tip of his finger in water, and cool tongue; for I am tormented in flame. [25] But Abraham said, Son, that thou in lifetime receivedst good things, and likewise Lazarus evil things: but now he is comforted, and thou art tormented. [26] And all between and a great gulf fixed: so that they which would pass to cannot; neither can they pass to that would come from thence.
