This is the book of the generations of Jesus Christ: the son of David, the son also of Abraham.

Abraham begat Isaac; Isaac begat Jacob; Jacob begat Judah and his brethren;

All the generations from Abraham to David are fourteen generations; And from David unto the captivity of Babylon are fourteen generations; And from the captivity of Babylon unto Christ are also fourteen generations.

And see that you think not to say to yourselves, 'We have Abraham for our father': for I say unto you, that God is able of these stones to raise up children unto Abraham.

I say therefore unto you, That many shall come from the east and west, and shall rest with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, in the kingdom of heaven;

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

As touching the dead, that they shall rise again: have ye not read in the book of Moses, how in the bush God spake unto him saying, 'I am the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob?'

Even as he promised to our fathers, Abraham and to his seed forever."

And to perform the oath, which he sware to our father Abraham, for to give us.

Bring forth due fruits of repentance; And begin not to say in yourselves, we have Abraham to our father. For I say unto you: God is able of these stones to raise up children unto Abraham.

which was the son of Jacob: which was the son of Isaac: which was the son of Abraham: which was the son of Terah: which was the son of Nahor:

And ought not this daughter of Abraham, be loosed from this bond on the Sabbath day, whom Satan hath bound lo, eighteen years?"

There shall be weeping, and gnashing of teeth: when ye shall see Abraham, and Isaac, and Jacob, and all the prophets in the kingdom of God, and yourselves thrust out a doors.

And it fortuned that the beggar died, and was carried by the angels into Abraham's bosom: The rich man also died, and was buried in hell.

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

And he cried and said, 'Father Abraham, have mercy on me, and send Lazarus, 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 unto him, 'Son remember, that thou in thy lifetime receivedst thy pleasure, and contrariwise, Lazarus pain. Now therefore is he comforted, and thou art punished.

Abraham said unto him, 'They have Moses and the prophets: let them hear them.'

And he said, 'Nay, father Abraham, but if one came unto them from the dead they would repent.'

And Jesus said to him, "This day is health come unto this house, forasmuch as he also is become the child of Abraham.

And that the dead shall rise again, even Moses signified besides the bush, when he said, 'The Lord God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob.'

They answered him, "We be Abraham's seed, and were never bond to any man: why sayest thou then, 'Ye shall be made free?'"

I know that ye are Abraham's seed: but ye seek means to kill me because my sayings have no place in you.

They answered, and said unto him, "Abraham is our father." Jesus said unto them, "If ye were Abraham's children, ye would do the deeds of Abraham.

But now ye go about to kill me, a man that have told you the truth, which I have heard of God: This did not Abraham.

Then said the Jews to him, "Now know we that thou hast the devil. Abraham is dead, and also the prophets, and yet thou sayest, 'If a man keep my saying he shall never taste of death.'

Art thou greater than our father Abraham, which is dead? And the prophets are dead: Whom makest thou thyself?"

Your father Abraham was glad to see my day, and he saw it and rejoiced."

Then said the Jews unto him, "Thou art not yet fifty years old, and hast thou seen Abraham?"

Jesus said unto them, "Verily, verily I say unto you: Yer Abraham was, I am."

The God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, the God of our fathers, hath glorified his son Jesus, whom ye delivered and denied in the presence of Pilate, when he had judged him to be loosed:

Ye are the children of the prophets, and of the covenant, which God hath made unto our fathers, saying to Abraham, 'Even in thy seed shall all the kindreds of the earth be blessed.'

And he said, "Ye men, brethren, and fathers, hearken to. The God of glory appeared unto our father Abraham while he was yet in Mesopotamia, before he dwelt in Haran,

and were translated into Shechem, and were put in the sepulchre that Abraham bought for money of the sons of Hamor, at Shechem.

"When the time of the promise drew nigh, which God had sworn to Abraham, the people grew and multiplied in Egypt

'I am the God of thy fathers, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac and the God of Jacob.' Moses trembled and durst not behold.

Ye men and brethren, children of the generation off Abraham, and whosoever among you feareth God, to you is this word of salvation sent.

What shall we say, then, that Abraham our father, as pertaining to the flesh, did find?

If Abraham were justified by deeds, then hath he wherein to rejoice: but not with God.

For what saith the scripture? "Abraham believed God, and it was counted unto him for righteousness."

Came this blessedness then upon the circumcised or upon the uncircumcised? We say verily how that faith was reckoned to Abraham, for righteousness.

And that he might be the father of the circumcised: not because they are circumcised only: but because they walk also in the steps of that faith, that was in our father Abraham before the time of circumcision.

For the promise that he should be heir of the world was not given to Abraham, or to his seed, through the law: but through the righteousness which cometh of faith.

Therefore by faith is the inheritance given, that it might come of favour: and that the promise might be sure to all the seed. Not to them only which are of the law: but also to them which are of the faith of Abraham, which is the father of us all.

Which Abraham, contrary to hope, believed in hope: that he should be the father of many nations, according to that which was spoken, "So shall thy seed be."

Neither are they all children straightway because they are the seed of Abraham: But in Isaac shall thy seed be called,

I say then, Hath God cast away his people? God forbid. For even I verily am an Israelite of the seed of Abraham, and of the tribe of Benjamin;

They are Hebrews, so am I. They are Israelites, even so am I. They are the seed of Abraham, even so am I.

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

Understand, therefore, that they which are of faith, the same are the children of Abraham.

For the scripture saw aforehand, that God would justify the heathen through faith, and therefore showed beforehand glad tidings unto Abraham: "In thee shall all nations be blessed."

So then, they which be of faith are blessed with faithful Abraham.

that the blessing of Abraham might come on the gentiles through Jesus Christ, and that we might receive the promise of the spirit through faith.

To Abraham and his seed were the promises made. He saith not, "in the seeds," as in many: But, "in thy seed," as in one, which is Christ.

For if the inheritance come of the law, it cometh not of promise: but God gave it unto Abraham by promise.

If ye be Christ's, then are ye Abraham's seed, and heirs by promise.

For it is written that Abraham had two sons, the one by a bondmaid, the other by a free woman.

For he in no place taketh on him the angels: but the seed of Abraham taketh he on him.

For when God made promise to Abraham, because he had no greater thing to swear by, he sware by himself,

This Melchizedek, king of Salem - which being priest of the most high God, met Abraham, as he returned again from the slaughter of the kings, and blessed him:

to whom also Abraham gave tithes of all things - first is, by interpretation, king of righteousness, after that he is king of Salem, that is to say king of peace,

Consider what a man this was, unto whom the patriarch Abraham gave tithes of the spoils.

And verily those children of Levi, which receive the office of the priests, have a commandment to take according to the law, tithes of the people, that is to say, of their brethren, yea though they sprung out of the loins of Abraham.

But he whose kindred is not counted among them, received tithes of Abraham, and blessed him that had the promises.

And to say the truth, Levi himself also which receiveth tithes, paid tithes in Abraham.

For he was yet in the loins of his father Abraham, when Melchizedek met him.

By faith Abraham, when he was called, obeyed to go out into a place which he should afterward receive to inheritance, and he went out, not knowing whither he should go.

By faith Abraham offered up Isaac, when he was tempted, and he offered him being his only begotten son, which had received the promises:

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

And the scripture was fulfilled which saith, "Abraham believed God, and it was reputed unto him for righteousness," and he was called the friend of God.

even as Sara obeyed Abraham and called him "Lord" - whose daughters ye are as long as ye do well, not being afraid of every shadow.
