'Begin' in the Bible

Produce fruit that is consistent with repentance! Don't begin to say to yourselves, "We have father Abraham!' because I tell you that God can raise up descendants for Abraham from these stones!

Otherwise, if he lays a foundation and can't finish the building, everyone who watches will begin to ridicule him

"Now when these things begin to take place, stand up and lift up your heads, because your deliverance is approaching."

Then people will begin to say to the mountains, "Fall on us!', and to the hills, "Cover us up!'
