Abraham fathered Isaac,
Isaac fathered Jacob,
Jacob fathered Judah and his brothers,

Eliud fathered Eleazar,
Eleazar fathered Matthan,
Matthan fathered Jacob,

and Jacob fathered Joseph the husband of Mary,
who gave birth to Jesus who is called the Messiah.

I tell you that many will come from east and west, and recline at the table with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob in the kingdom of heaven.

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