The Genealogy of Jesus Christ, the son of David, the son of Abraham.

Abraham was the father of Isaac; Isaac of Jacob; Jacob of Judah and his brothers.

There are therefore, in all, fourteen generations from Abraham to David; fourteen from David to the Removal to Babylon; and fourteen from the Removal to Babylon to the Christ.

and do not imagine that you can say to yourselves, 'We have Abraham as our forefather,' for I tell you that God can raise up descendants for Abraham from these stones.

And I tell you that many will come from the east and from the west and will recline at table with Abraham, Isaac and Jacob in the Kingdom of the Heavens,

I am the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob'? He is not the God of dead, but of living men."
