A book of the lineage of Jesus Christ, Son of David, Son of Abraham.

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

All the generations, therefore, from Abraham to David are fourteen generations; and from David to the removal to Babylon, fourteen; and from the removal to Babylon to the Christ, fourteen generations.

and think not to say within yourselves, 'As a father we have Abraham;' for I say to you, that God is able out of these stones to raise up children to Abraham.

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

But, concerning the dead, that they are raised, did ye not read in the book of Moses, at the 'Bush,' how God spake to him, saying, 'I am the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob?'

(as He spake to our fathers), to Abraham and to his seed forever."

the oath which He swore to Abraham, our father;

Produce, therefore, fruits worthy of repentance; and begin not to say within yourselves, 'We have Abraham as our father'; for I say to you, that God is able out of these stones to raise up children to Abraham.

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

And was it not right that this woman, being a daughter of Abraham, whom Satan bound, lo, eighteen years, should have been loosed from this bond on the day of the sabbath?"

There will be the weeping and the gnashing of teeth, when ye shall see Abraham, and Isaac, and Jacob, and all the prophets, in the Kingdom of God, and yourselves thrust forth without.

And it came to pass that the poor man died, and that he was carried away by the angels into Abraham's bosom. And the rich man also died, and was buried;

and in Hades, lifting up his eyes, being in torments, he sees Abraham afar off, and Lazarus in his bosom.

And, crying, he 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; because I am in anguish in this flame!'

But Abraham said, 'Child, remember that, in your lifetime, you received in full your good things, and Lazarus, likewise, evil things; but now here he is comforted, and you are in anguish.

But Abraham says, 'They have Moses and the prophets; let them hear them.'

But he said, 'Nay, father Abraham; but, if one go to them from the dead, they will repent.'

And Jesus said to him, "To-day salvation came to this house, inasmuch as he also is a son of Abraham;

But that the dead are raised, even Moses showed at the 'Bush,' when he calls the Lord 'The God of Abraham the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob.'

They answered Him, "We are Abraham's seed, and to no one have we at any time been in bondage; how sayest Thou, 'Ye shall be made free?'

I know that ye are Abraham's seed; but ye are seeking to kill Me, because My word has no place in you.

They answered and said to Him, "Our father is Abraham." Jesus saith to them, "If ye are children of Abraham, ye are doing the works of Abraham.

But now ye are seeking to kill Me, a Man Who hath told you the truth, which I heard from My Father: this Abraham did not.

The Jews said to Him, "Now we know that Thou hast a demon! Abraham and the prophets died; and Thou sayest, 'If any one keeps My word, he shall never taste of death!'

Art Thou greater than our father Abraham, who died? and the prophets died? Whom makest Thou Thyself?"

Abraham, your father, rejoiced to see My day; and he saw it, and was glad."

The Jews, therefore, said to Him, "Thou art not yet fifty years old, and hast Thou seen Abraham?"

Jesus said to them, "Verily, verily, I say to you, before Abraham existed, I am."

The God of Abraham and Isaac and Jacob, the God of our fathers, glorified His Child Jesus, Whom ye, indeed, delivered up, and denied before Pilate's face, when he gave judgment to release Him;

Ye are the sons of the prophets, and of the covenant which God made with your fathers, saying to Abraham, 'And in your Seed shall all the families of the earth be blessed.'

But he said, "Brethren and fathers, the God of glory appeared to our father Abraham, while he was in Mesopotamia, before he dwelt in Haran,

and they were removed to Shechem, and were laid in the tomb that Abraham bought for a sum of money from the sons of Emmor, in Shechem.

But, as the time of the promise which God promised to Abraham was drawing nigh, the people increased and were multiplied in Egypt,

'I am the God of your fathers, the God of Abraham, and of Isaac, and of Jacob.' And Moses, becoming terrified, was not daring to examine it.

Brethren, sons of Abraham's race, and those among you who fear God, to us the word of this salvation was sent forth.

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

For, if Abraham was justified by works, he has ground of boasting, but not toward God.

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

Does this happiness, therefore, come upon the circumcision, or upon the uncircumcision also? For we say, "Faith was reckoned to Abraham for righteousness."

and father of circumcision to those who not only are of the circumcision, but who also walk in the steps of the faith of our father Abraham, which he had in uncircumcision.

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

For this cause it is of faith, that it may be according to grace; to the end that the promise may be sure to all the seed; not to that only which is of the law, but to that also which is of the faith of Abraham, who is the father of us all

neither, because they are Abraham's seed, are they all children; but, "In Isaac shall your seed be called."

I say, then, did God cast off His people? It could not be! For I also am an Israelite, of the seed of Abraham, of the tribe of Benjamin.

Are they Hebrews? so am I. Are they Israelites? so am I. Are they Abraham's seed? so am I.

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

Know, then, that those who are of faith, the same are sons of Abraham.

And the Scripture, foreseeing that God would justify the gentiles through faith, proclaimed beforehand the Gospel to Abraham, saying, "In you shall all the nations be blessed."

So that those who are of faith are blessed with the faithful Abraham.

that to the gentiles the blessing of Abraham might come in Jesus Christ, that we might receive the promise of the Spirit through faith.

Now to Abraham were the promises spoken, and to his Seed. He saith not, "And to seeds," as of many; but as of One, "and to your Seed"; which is Christ.

For, if the inheritance is of the law, it is no longer of promise; but God has freely given it to Abraham through promise.

And, if ye are Christ's, ye are, consequently, Abraham's seed, and heirs according to promise.

For it has been written that Abraham had two sons, one by the bond-woman, and one by the free-woman.

For surely He doth not succor angels, but He succoreth Abraham's seed.

For God, when making a promise to Abraham, since He had no one greater by whom to swear, swore by Himself,

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

to whom also Abraham apportioned a tenth of all (first, indeed, interpreted as "King of Righteousness," and then also "King of Salem"??hich is king of peace;

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

And those, indeed, from among the sons of Levi, who receive the priesthood, have a commandment to take tithes of the people according to the law, that is, of their brethren, (though having come out of the loins of Abraham);

but he whose genealogy is not reckoned from them has taken tithes of Abraham, and has blessed him who had the promises.

And, so to speak, through Abraham even Levi, who takes tithes, has paid tithes;

By faith Abraham, when called, obeyed to go forth into the place which he was about to receive for an inheritance; and he went forth, not knowing whither he was going.

By faith Abraham, when tried, has offered up Isaac; yea, he who gladly received the promises was offering up his only begotten son,

Was not Abraham, our father, justified by works, when he offered up Isaac his son on the altar?

and the Scripture was fulfilled which says, "And Abraham believed God, and it was reckoned to him for righteousness"; and he was called "God's Friend."

as Sarah obeyed Abraham, calling him lord, of whom ye became children; if ye do good, and fear no alarm.
