'Fathers' in the Bible

Our fathers had faith in you: they had faith and you were their saviour.

Let my prayer come to your ears, O Lord, and give attention to my cry, make an answer to my weeping: for my time here is short before you, and in a little time I will be gone, like all my fathers.

It has come to our ears, O God, our fathers have given us the story, of the works which you did in their days, in the old times,

Uprooting the nations with your hand, and planting our fathers in their place; cutting down the nations, but increasing the growth of your people.

Your children will take the place of your fathers; so that you may make them rulers over all the earth.

He will go to the generation of his fathers; he will not see the light again.

Which have come to our hearing and our knowledge, as they were given to us by our fathers.

He put up a witness in Jacob, and made a law in Israel; which he gave to our fathers so that they might give knowledge of them to their children;

And not be like their fathers, a stiff-necked and uncontrolled generation; a generation whose heart was hard, whose spirit was not true to God.

He did great works before the eyes of their fathers, in the land of Egypt, in the fields of Zoan.

Their hearts were turned back and untrue like their fathers; they were turned to one side like a twisted bow.

When your fathers put me to the test and saw my power and my work.

We are sinners like our fathers, we have done wrong, our acts are evil.

Our fathers did not give thought to your wonders in Egypt; they did not keep in memory the great number of your mercies, but gave you cause for wrath at the sea, even at the Red Sea.

Let the Lord keep in mind the wrongdoing of his fathers; and may the sin of his mother have no forgiveness.
