'Father' in the Bible

He will be great, and will be named the Son of the Most High: and the Lord God will give him the kingdom of David, his father:

And they made signs to his father, to say what name was to be given to him.

And his father, Zacharias, was full of the Holy Spirit, and with the voice of a prophet said these words:

The oath which he made to Abraham, our father,

And full of the Spirit he came into the Temple; and when the father and mother came in with the child Jesus, to do with him what was ordered by the law,

And his father and mother were full of wonder at the things which were said about him.

And every year his father and mother went to Jerusalem at the feast of the Passover.

And when they saw him they were surprised, and his mother said to him, Son, why have you done this to us? see, your father and I have been looking for you with sorrow.

Make clear by your acts that your hearts have been changed; and do not say to yourselves, We have Abraham for our father: for I say to you that God is able from these stones to make children of Abraham.

Be full of pity, even as your Father is full of pity.

And when he came to the house he did not let any man go in with him, but only Peter and John and James, and the father of the girl and her mother.

And her father and mother were full of wonder, but he gave orders to them to say nothing about it to anyone.

For if any man has a feeling of shame because of me or of my words, the Son of man will have shame because of him when he comes in his glory and the glory of the Father and of the holy angels.

And while he was coming, he was pushed violently down and twisted by the evil spirit. But Jesus gave sharp orders to the unclean spirit, and made the boy well, and gave him back to his father.

And he said to another, Come after me. But he said, Lord, let me first go and give the last honours to my father.

In that same hour he was full of joy in the Holy Spirit and said, I give praise to you, O Father, Lord of heaven and earth, because you have kept these things secret from the wise and the men of learning, and have made them clear to little children: for so, O Father, it was pleasing in your eyes.

All things have been given to me by my Father: and no one has knowledge of the Son, but only the Father: and of the Father, but only the Son, and he to whom the Son will make it clear.

And he said to them, When you say your prayers, say, Father, may your name be kept holy and your kingdom come.

And which of you, being a father, will give a stone to his son, who makes request for bread? or for a fish, will give him a snake?

If, then, you who are evil are able to give good things to your children, how much more will your Father in heaven give the Holy Spirit to those who make request to him?

For the nations of the world go in search of all these things: but your Father has knowledge that you have need of them.

They will be at war, the father against his son, and the son against his father; mother against daughter, and daughter against mother; mother-in-law against daughter-in-law, and daughter-in-law against mother-in-law.

And turning round, he said to them, If any man comes to me, and has not hate for his father and mother and wife and children and brothers and sisters, and even for his life, he may not be my disciple.

And the younger of them said to his father, Father, give me that part of your property which will be mine. And he made division of his goods between them.

I will get up and go to my father, and will say to him, Father, I have done wrong, against heaven and in your eyes:

And he got up and went to his father. But while he was still far away, his father saw him and was moved with pity for him and went quickly and took him in his arms and gave him a kiss.

And his son said to him, Father, I have done wrong, against heaven and in your eyes: I am no longer good enough to be named your son.

But the father said to his servants, Get out the first robe quickly, and put it on him, and put a ring on his hand and shoes on his feet:

And he said to him, Your brother has come; and your father has had the young ox put to death because he has come back safely.

But he was angry and would not go in; and his father came out and made a request to him to come in.

But he made answer and said to his father, See, all these years I have been your servant, doing your orders in everything: and you never gave me even a young goat so that I might have a feast with my friends:

And he gave a cry and said, Father Abraham, have mercy on me and send Lazarus, so that he may put the end of his finger in water and put it on my tongue, for I am cruelly burning in this flame.

And he said, Father, it is my request that you will send him to my father's house;

And he said, No, father Abraham, but if someone went to them from the dead, their hearts would be changed.

You have knowledge of what the law says: Do not be untrue to your wife, Do not put anyone to death, Do not take what is not yours, Do not give false witness, Give honour to your father and mother.

And he said to them, Truly I say to you, There is no man who has given up house or wife or brothers or father or mother or children, because of the kingdom of God,

And I will give you a kingdom as my Father has given one to me,

Father, if it is your pleasure, take this cup from me: but still, let your pleasure, not mine, be done.

And Jesus said, Father, let them have forgiveness, for they have no knowledge of what they are doing. And they made division of his clothing among them by the decision of chance.

And Jesus gave a loud cry and said, Father, into your hands I give my spirit: and when he had said this, he gave up his spirit.

And now I will send to you what my father has undertaken to give you, but do not go from the town, till the power from heaven comes to you.
