Abraham became the father of Isaac, and Isaac became the father of Jacob, and Jacob became the father of Judah and his brothers,

and Eliud became the father of Eleazar, and Eleazar became the father of Matthan, and Matthan became the father of Jacob,

and Jacob became the father of Joseph, the husband of Mary by whom was born Jesus, who is called Christ.

But I say to you that many will come from east and west and {be seated at the banquet} with Abraham and 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!"
