'Fathers' in the Bible

And he will go before Himin the spirit and power of Elijah,to turn the hearts of fathersto their children,and the disobedientto the understanding of the righteous,to make ready for the Lord a prepared people.

He has dealt mercifully with our fathersand remembered His holy covenant—

“Woe to you! You build monuments to the prophets, and your fathers killed them.

Therefore, you are witnesses that you approve the deeds of your fathers, for they killed them, and you build their monuments.
