'Fathers' in the Bible

And he shall go before his face in the spirit and power of Elijah, to turn the hearts of the fathers to the children, and the disobedient to walk in the wisdom of the just; to make ready for the Lord a people prepared for him .

(As he spake unto our fathers) Toward Abraham and his seed for ever.

To show mercy towards, our fathers, And to remember his holy covenant;

Rejoice in that day, and leap for joy : for behold, your reward is great in heaven; for in the same manner did their fathers unto the prophets.

Woe unto you , when all men shall speak well of you! for in the same manner did their fathers to the false prophets.

Woe unto you! for ye build the tombs of the prophets, and your fathers killed them.

So ye are witnesses and consent unto the works of your fathers: for they killed them, and ye build their tombs .
