# Connecting Statement:
Jesus finishes telling the story about the rich man and Lazarus.
# If they do not listen to Moses and the prophets
Here "Moses and the prophets" represent the things that they wrote. Alternate translation: "If they do not pay attention to what Moses and the prophets wrote" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-metonymy]])
# neither will they be persuaded if someone rises from the dead
This can be stated in active form. Alternate translation: "neither will a person who comes back from the dead be able to convince them" or "they will not believe even if a person comes back from the dead" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-activepassive]])
# rises from the dead
The words "the dead" speak of all dead people together in the underworld. To rise from among them is to become alive again.
