Luke 16:26 Context
24And he cried, and said, Father Abraham, haue mercy on mee, and send Lazarus, that he may dip the tip of his finger in water, and coole my tongue, for I am tormented in this flame. 25But Abraham saide, Sonne, remember that thou in thy life-time receiuedst thy good things, and likewise Lazarus euill things, but now he is comforted, and thou art tormented. 26And besides all this, betweene vs and you there is a great gulfe fixed, so that they which would passe from hence to you, cannot, neither can they passe to vs, that would come from thence. 27Then he said, I pray thee therefore father, that thou wouldest send him to my fathers house: 28For I haue fiue brethren, that he may testifie vnto them, lest they also come into this place of torment.
