Question

Which biblical parable uses the image of a great chasm fixed between the rich man in torment and Lazarus in comfort to illustrate judgement after death?

Accepted Answer

The Parable of the Rich Man and Lazarus — The Parable of the Rich Man and Lazarus (Luke 16:19–31) specifically describes a great chasm separating the tormented rich man from Lazarus resting in Abraham's side, illustrating consequences after death.
