'Fathers' in the Bible

It is he who will go as a forerunner before Him in the spirit and power of Elijah, to turn the hearts of the fathers back to the children, and the disobedient to the attitude of the righteous, so as to make ready a people prepared for the Lord.”

As He spoke to our fathers,To Abraham and his descendants forever.”

To show mercy toward our fathers,And to remember His holy covenant,

Be glad in that day and leap for joy, for behold, your reward is great in heaven. For in the same way their fathers used to treat the prophets.

Woe to you when all men speak well of you, for their fathers used to treat the false prophets in the same way.

Now suppose one of you fathers is asked by his son for a fish; he will not give him a snake instead of a fish, will he?

Woe to you! For you build the tombs of the prophets, and it was your fathers who killed them.

So you are witnesses and approve the deeds of your fathers; because it was they who killed them, and you build their tombs.
