Luke 16:31

Abraham said to him, 'If they do not listen to Moses and the prophets, they will not be convinced even if someone rises from the dead.'"
[The greatest testimony anyone can receive is the word of God. A miracle attracts attention, but it is the word of God that saves. Although the rich man is not named, it is the Pharisees who are identified with him. The high priest wore a purple robe and linen garments, see Ex. 28. When Jesus told this story, Caiaphas was the high priest, serving from 18-35 AD. His father-in-law, Annas, had five sons whom he made high priests, see verses 27-28. Lazarus has sometimes been associated with Martha and Mary's brother, but it is probably not the same person, see John 11. However, there is a connection between the name Lazarus and Abraham. The name Lazarus comes from the Hebrew name Eliezer, which means "one whom God helps." Eliezer was Abraham's faithful servant, see Gen. 15:2. Just as Abraham's good servant Eliezer was expected to go to the same place of residence as his master after death, so too will the righteous beggar. Jesus does not say whether this is a parable or a story, and there are different interpretations, but what we do know is that Jesus would not speak untruths or teach false doctrines. Some conclusions:
What we do in this life has consequences after death. We should help the poor. Jesus uses a contemporary term, "Abraham's bosom," but changes certain details. The English word "lazaret" (a place for people with infectious diseases) has its origin in the biblical name Lazarus.]
