'Begotten' in the Bible

who were begotten as such not by human descent, nor through an impulse of their own nature, nor through the will of a human father, but from God.

"You," they replied, "were wholly begotten and born in sin, and do *you* teach *us*?" And they put him out of the synagogue.

Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who in His great mercy has begotten us anew to an ever-living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead,

For you have been begotten again by God's ever-living and enduring word from a germ not of perishable, but of imperishable life.
