Luke 16:26-31

26 Besides, a wide area separates us. People couldn't cross it in either direction even if they wanted to.'
27 "The rich man responded, 'Then I ask you, Father, to send Lazarus back to my father's home.
28 I have five brothers. He can warn them so that they won't end up in this place of torture.'
29 "Abraham replied, 'They have Moses' [Teachings] and the Prophets. Your brothers should listen to them!'
30 "The rich man replied, 'No, Father Abraham! If someone comes back to them from the dead, they will turn to God and change the way they think and act.'
31 "Abraham answered him, 'If they won't listen to Moses' [Teachings] and the Prophets, they won't be persuaded even if someone comes back to life.'"
