The book of the genealogy of Jesus Christ, the son of David, the son of Abraham.

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

So all the generations from Abraham to David are fourteen generations. And from David until the carrying away into Babylon, fourteen generations. And from the carrying away into Babylon until Christ, fourteen generations.

and do not think to say within yourselves, We have Abraham as our father. For I say to you that God is able to raise up children to Abraham from these stones.

And I say to you that many shall come from the east and the west, and shall sit down 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?" God is not the God of the dead, but of the living.

And as regards the dead, that they rise, have you not read in the book of Moses how God spoke to him in the Bush, saying, "I am the God of Abraham and the God of Isaac and the God of Jacob?"

as He spoke to our fathers, to Abraham and to his seed forever.

the oath which He swore to our father Abraham,

Therefore bring forth fruits worthy of repentance, and do not begin to say within yourselves, We have Abraham for our father. For I say to you that God is able to raise up children to Abraham from these stones.

son of of Jacob, son of of Isaac, son of of Abraham, son of of Terah, son of of Nahor,

And ought not this woman, being a daughter of Abraham whom Satan has bound, lo these eighteen years, be loosened from this bond on the Sabbath day?

There will be weeping and gnashing of teeth when you will see Abraham and Isaac and Jacob, and all the prophets, in the kingdom of God, and yourselves being thrust out.

And it happened that the beggar died and was carried by the angels into Abraham's bosom. The rich one also died and was buried.

And in hell he lifted up his eyes, being in torments, and saw Abraham afar off, and Lazarus in his bosom.

And he cried and said, Father Abraham, have mercy on me and send Lazarus so that he may dip the tip of his finger in water and cool my tongue, for I am tormented in this flame.

But Abraham said, Son, remember that you in your lifetime received your good things, and likewise Lazarus evil things. But now he is comforted and you are tormented.

Abraham said to him, They have Moses and the Prophets, let them hear them.

And he said, No, father Abraham, but if one should go to them from the dead, they would repent.

And Jesus said to him, This day salvation has come to this house, because he also is a son of Abraham.

But that the dead are raised, even Moses pointed out at the Bush, when he called the Lord the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob.

They answered Him, We are Abraham's seed and were never in bondage to anyone. How do you say, You will be made free?

I know that you are Abraham's seed, but you seek to kill Me because My Word has no place in you.

They answered and said to Him, Abraham is our father. Jesus answered them, If you were Abraham's children, you would do the works of Abraham.

But now you seek to kill Me, a man who has told you the truth which I have heard beside God; this Abraham did not do.

Then the Jews said to Him, Now we know that you have a demon. Abraham and the prophets are dead, and you say, If a man keeps my Word, he shall never taste of death.

Are you greater than our father Abraham, who died? And the prophets are dead; whom do you make yourself?

Your father Abraham rejoiced to see My day, and He saw and was glad.

Then the Jews said to Him, You are not yet fifty years old, and have you seen Abraham?

Jesus said to them, Truly, truly, I say to you, Before Abraham came into being, I AM!

The God of Abraham and of Isaac and of Jacob, the God of our fathers, has glorified His son Jesus, whom you delivered up, denying Him in the presence of Pilate, when he had decided to let Him go.

You are the sons of the prophets and of the covenant which God made with our fathers, saying to Abraham, "And in your Seed shall all the kindreds of the earth be blessed."

And he said, Men, brothers, and fathers, listen: The God of glory appeared to our father Abraham when he was in Mesopotamia, before he lived in Haran.

And He gave him the covenant of circumcision. And so Abraham fathered Isaac and circumcised him the eighth day. And Isaac fathered Jacob, and Jacob the twelve patriarchs.

and were carried over into Shechem. And they were laid in the tomb that Abraham bought for a price of silver from the sons of Emmor the father of Shechem.

But as the time was drawing near, of the promise which God had sworn to Abraham, the people grew and multiplied in Egypt,

saying, "I am the God of your fathers, the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob." But Moses trembled and dared not look.

Men, brothers, sons of the race of Abraham, and whoever among you fears God, the Word of this salvation is sent to you.

What then shall we say that our father Abraham has found, according to flesh?

For if Abraham was justified by works, he has a boast; but not before God.

For what does the Scripture say? "Abraham believed God, and it was counted to him for righteousness."

Is this blessedness then on the circumcision only, or on the uncircumcision also? For we say that faith was reckoned to Abraham for righteousness.

and a father of circumcision to those not of the circumcision only, but also to those walking by the steps of the faith of our father Abraham during uncircumcision.

For the promise that he should be the heir of the world was not to Abraham or to his seed through the Law, but through the righteousness of faith.

Therefore it is of faith so that it might be according to grace; for the promise to be made sure to all the seed, not only to that which is of the Law, but to that also which is of the faith of Abraham, who is the father of us all

nor because they are the seed of Abraham are they all children. But, "In Isaac shall your Seed be called."

I say then, Did not God put away His people? Let it not be said! For I also am an Israelite, of the seed of Abraham, of the tribe of Benjamin.

Are they Hebrews? I also! Are they Israelites? I also! Are they the seed of Abraham? I also!

Even as Abraham believed God, and it was counted to him for righteousness.

Therefore know that those of faith, these are the sons of Abraham.

And the Scripture, foreseeing that God would justify the nations through faith, preached the gospel before to Abraham, saying, "In you shall all nations be blessed."

So then those of faith are blessed with faithful Abraham.

so that the blessing of Abraham might be to the nations in Jesus Christ, and that we might receive the promise of the Spirit through faith.

And to Abraham and to his Seed the promises were spoken. It does not say, And to seeds, as of many; but as of one, "And to your Seed," which is Christ.

For if the inheritance is of Law, it is no more of promise; but God gave it to Abraham by way of promise.

And if you are Christ's, then you are Abraham's seed and heirs according to the promise.

For it is written: Abraham had two sons, the one out of the slave-woman, and one out of the free woman.

For truly He did not take the nature of angels, but He took hold of the seed of Abraham.

For when God made promise to Abraham, because He could swear by no greater, He swore by Himself,

For this Melchizedek, king of Salem and priest of the Most High God, met Abraham returning from the slaughter of the kings and blessed him.

To him Abraham also gave a tenth of all. He was first by interpretation king of righteousness, and after that also king of Salem, which is king of peace,

Now consider how great this man was, to whom even the patriarch Abraham gave the tenth of the spoils.

And truly they who are of the sons of Levi, who receive the office of the priest, have a commandment to take tithes of the people according to the Law, that is, from their brothers, though they come out of the loins of Abraham.

But he whose descent is not counted from them received tithes from Abraham and blessed him who had the promises.

And if I may say so, Levi, also, who receives tithes, paid tithes in Abraham.

By faith Abraham obeyed when he was called to go out into a place which he was afterward going to receive for an inheritance. And he went out, not knowing where he went.

By faith Abraham, being tested, offered up Isaac. And he who had received the promises offered up his only-begotten son,

Was not Abraham our father justified by works when he had offered Isaac his son upon the altar?

And the Scripture was fulfilled which says, "Abraham believed God, and it was imputed to him for righteousness, and he was called the friend of God."

as Sarah obeyed Abraham, calling him lord; whose children you became, doing good and fearing no terror.
