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

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

All the generations therefore from Abraham to David are fourteen generations: and from David until the captivity of Babylon fourteen generations: and from the Babylonish captivity unto Christ, fourteen generations.

"We have Abraham for our father:" for I tell you, that God is able of these stones to raise up children to Abraham.

but I tell you, that many shall come from the east and from the west, and shall sit down with Abraham, and Isaac, and Jacob, in the kingdom of heaven;

saying, 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.

But as to the dead, that they are raised, have ye not read in the book of Moses, how God spake to him in the bush, saying, I am the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob?

in remembrance of his mercy (even as He promised to our fathers, to Abraham and to his seed,) for ever."

according to the oath which He sware to Abraham our father,

Bring forth therefore fruits becoming penitents, and do not say within yourselves, "We have Abraham for our father," for I tell you that God can of these stones raise up children to Abraham.

the son of Juda, the son of Jacob, the son of Isaac, the son of Abraham, the son of Thara, the son of Nachor,

And might not this woman, a daughter of Abraham, whom Satan hath bound these eighteen years, be loosed from this bond on the sabbath-day?

and there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth, when ye see Abraham, and Isaac, and Jacob, and all the prophets in the kingdom of God, and you yourselves shut out.

and was carried by angels to Abraham's bosom: the rich man also died, and was buried.

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

And he cried out and said, Father Abraham, have pity 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.

And Abraham said, Son, remember that thou receivedst thy good things in thy life-time, and likewise Lazarus his evils: but now he is comforted, and thou art tormented.

Abraham answered him, They have Moses and the prophets, let them hear them:

and he said, Nay, father Abraham, but if one went to them from the dead, they will repent.

Then said Jesus, This day is salvation come to this house, for as much as he also is a son of Abraham.

Now that the dead are raised, even Moses shewed at the bush; for he calleth the Lord, the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob.

They answered Him, We are the seed of Abraham, and never were slaves to any one, how then dost thou say, Ye shall be made free?

I know that ye are the seed of Abraham, but ye seek to kill me, because my word hath no place in you.

They answered Him, Abraham is our father, Jesus replied, If ye were the children of Abraham, ye would do the works of Abraham:

but now ye seek to kill me, who have told you the truth which I have heard from God: Abraham did not thus.

The Jews therefore said unto Him, Now we are sure that thou art possessed by a demon. Abraham is dead, and the prophets too; and thou sayest, If any one keep my word, he shall never taste of death: art thou greater than our father Abraham, who is dead?

Your father Abraham longed to see my day: and he saw it, and was glad.

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

Jesus said unto them, Before Abraham was, I am.

The God of Abraham and of Isaac and of Jacob, the God of our fathers hath glorified his son Jesus, whom ye delivered up, and denied before Pilate, when he determined to release Him.

Now ye are the children of the prophets, and of the covenant, which God made with our fathers, saying to Abraham, "And in thy seed shall all the families of the earth be blessed:"

And he said, "Brethren and fathers, hearken,---The God of glory appeared to our father Abraham, when he was in Mesopotamia, before he dwelt in Charran,

But as the time of the promise drew near, which God had sworn to Abraham, the people increased and multiplied in Egypt.

saying, "I am the God of thy fathers, the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob;" but Moses trembling durst not look on.

---Men and brethren, children of the race of Abraham, and all those among you that fear God, to you is the word of this salvation sent.

What shall we say then that Abraham our father obtained according to the flesh?

for if Abraham were justified by works, he hath something to boast of; but this he hath not before God:

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

Now is this blessedness upon the circumcised only, or upon the uncircumcised also? for we say that faith was accounted to Abraham for righteousness.

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

For the promise made to Abraham, or to his seed, that he should be heir of the world, was not by the law, but by the righteousness of faith:

And therefore it is of faith, that it might be by grace, that so the promise might be sure to all the seed; not to that only which is of the law, but also to that 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 of promise: but "in Isaac shall thy seed be called."

I say then, Hath God cast off his people? God forbid! 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 the seed of Abraham?

As Abraham believed God, and it was accounted to him for righteousness:

so ye know that they who believe, are the children of Abraham.

And the scripture foreseeing that God would justify the gentiles through faith, preached the gospel to Abraham long ago, saying, "In thee shall all nations be blessed."

So then they that believe, are blessed with believing Abraham.

that the blessing of Abraham might come on the gentiles by Christ Jesus; that we through faith might receive the promise of the Spirit.

Now the promises were made to Abraham, and to his seed. He doth not say, "and to seeds," as of many; but as of one, "and to thy seed," which is Christ.

For if the inheritance be from the law, it is no more from the promise: whereas God gave it to Abraham by promise.

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

where it is written, that Abraham had two sons, one by a servant, and one by a free-woman?

For indeed He taketh not hold of angels to save them, but of the seed of Abraham.

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

For this Melchisedec, 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 divided the tenth of all his spoils; being in the first place, by interpretation of his name, king of righteousness, and moreover king of Salem, which is king of peace;

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

And those indeed of the sons of Levi, who receive the priesthood, have a commandment according to the law to take tithes of the people, that is, of their brethren, though they came out of the loins of Abraham:

but he, whose pedigree is not reckoned among them, took tithes of Abraham, and blessed him that had the promises.

And (as one may say) even Levi, who receiveth tithes, paid tithes in Abraham:

By faith Abraham when called to go out to a place which he was afterwards to receive for an inheritance obeyed: and went out, though he knew not whither he was going.

By faith Abraham, when he was tried, offered up Isaac: and he who had received the promises, offered up his only son;

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

And the scripture was fulfilled, which saith, Abraham believed God, and it was counted to him for righteousness; and he was called the friend of God.

For so also formerly the holy women, who hoped in God, adorned themselves, being submissive to their husbands; as Sarah obeyed Abraham, calling him her lord:
