Editing Intercession (section)

=== The Parable of the Rich Man and Lazarus ===
Jesus tells the parable (moral story) of a rich man who died the same day as a poor beggar, Lazarus. Lazarus was welcomed to Heaven by Abraham, while the rich man went to "the netherworld" (hell). 

The rich man pleads for mercy, but Abraham tells him that there can be no "crossing...from our side to yours, or your side to ours" ([https://bible.usccb.org/bible/luke/16?26 Lk 16:26])

The rich man begs Abraham to at least warn his brothers "lest they too come to this place of torment" ([https://bible.usccb.org/bible/luke/16?28 Lk 16:28]). 

Jesus continues the the exchange, 
 "But Abraham replied, ‘They have Moses and the prophets. Let them listen to them.’
 
 He said, ‘Oh no, father Abraham, but if someone from the dead goes to them, they will repent.’
 
 Then Abraham said, ‘If they will not listen to Moses and the prophets, neither will they be persuaded if someone should rise from the dead.’” ([https://bible.usccb.org/bible/luke/16?28 Lk 29:31]). 
We see several elements of intercession here as taught by Jesus:

# There is no intercession available to those in hell.
# Abraham does not say that "someone from the dead" cannot visit the rich man's brothers; instead he said they wouldn't believe it, anyway., if one did.

Note that Jesus has Abraham tell us to "listen to Moses and the prophets", which means to listen also to Jesus and his Evangelists, the writers of the New Testament
