'Father' in the Bible

On the eighth day they went to circumcise the child. They were going to name him Zechariah after his father,

So they motioned to the baby's father to see what he wanted to name him.

Then his father Zechariah was filled with the Holy Spirit and prophesied:

Jesus' father and mother kept wondering at the things being said about him.

When Jesus' parents saw him, they were shocked. His mother asked him, "Son, why have you treated us like this? Your father and I have been worried sick looking for you!"

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!

Be merciful, just as your Father is merciful."

When he arrived at the man's house, he allowed no one to go in with him except Peter, John, James, and the young girl's father and mother.

If anyone is ashamed of me and my words, the Son of Man will be ashamed of him when he comes in his glory and the glory of the Father and the holy angels.

Even while the boy was coming, the demon knocked him to the ground and threw him into convulsions. But Jesus rebuked the unclean spirit, healed the boy, and gave him back to his father.

He told another man, "Follow me." But he said, "Lord, first let me go and bury my father."

At that moment, the Holy Spirit made Jesus extremely joyful, so Jesus said, "I praise you, Father, Lord of heaven and earth, because you have hidden these things from wise and intelligent people and have revealed them to infants. Yes, Father, because this is what was pleasing to you.

All things have been entrusted to me by my Father. No one knows who the Son is except the Father, and no one knows who the Father is except the Son and the person to whom the Son chooses to reveal him."

So he told them, "Whenever you pray you are to say, "Father, may your name be kept holy. May your kingdom come.

What father among you, if his son asks for bread, would give him a stone, or if he asks for a fish, would give him a snake instead of the fish?

So if you who are evil know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will the Father in heaven give the Holy Spirit to those who keep asking him!"

because it is the unbelievers who are concerned about all these things. Surely your Father knows that you need them!

Stop being afraid, little flock, because your Father is pleased to give you the kingdom.

They will be divided father against son, son against father, mother against daughter, daughter against mother, mother-in-law against daughter-in-law, and daughter-in-law against mother-in-law."

"If anyone comes to me and does not hate his father, mother, wife, children, brothers, and sisters, as well as his own life, he can't be my disciple.

The younger one told his father, "Father, give me my share of the estate.' So the father divided his property between them.

I will get up, go to my father, and say to him, "Father, I have sinned against heaven and you.

"So he got up and went to his father. While he was still far away, his father saw him and was filled with compassion. He ran to his son, threw his arms around him, and kissed him affectionately.

Then his son told him, "Father, I have sinned against heaven and you. I don't deserve to be called your son anymore.'

But the father told his servants, "Hurry! Bring out the best robe and put it on him, and put a ring on his finger and sandals on his feet.

The servant told him, "Your brother has come home, and your father has killed the fattened calf because he got him back safely.'

"Then the older son became angry and wouldn't go into the house. So his father came out and began to plead with him.

But he answered his father, "Listen! All these years I've worked like a slave for you. I've never disobeyed a command of yours. Yet you've never given me so much as a young goat for a festival so I could celebrate with my friends.

"His father told him, "My child, you are always with me, and everything I have is yours.

So he shouted, "Father Abraham, have mercy on me! Send Lazarus to dip the tip of his finger in water to cool off my tongue, because I am suffering in this fire.'

"The rich man said, "Then I beg you, father, send Lazarus to my father's house

"But the rich man replied, "No, father Abraham! But if someone from the dead went to them, they would repent.'

You know the commandments: "Never commit adultery. Never murder. Never steal. Never give false testimony. Honor your father and mother.'"

And I confer a kingdom on you, just as my Father has conferred a kingdom on me,

Jesus kept saying, "Father, forgive them, because they don't know what they're doing." Then they divided his clothes among them by throwing dice.

Then Jesus cried out with a loud voice and said, "Father, into your hands I entrust my spirit." After he said this, he breathed his last.

I am sending to you what my Father promised, so stay here in the city until you have been clothed with power from on high."
