( Mishnah) Possibly it was to counter this tradition that John the Baptizer warned the Pharisees who came to him: “Produce fruit that befits repentance; and do not presume to say to yourselves, ‘ As a father we have Abraham [as if that were enough]. ’ ” ​ — Matthew 3: 7 - 9; see also John 8: 33, 39.
और अपने अपने मन में यह न सोचो, कि ‘ हमारा पिता इब्राहीम है [मानो यही काफ़ी था] । ’ ” — मत्ती ३: ७ - ९; और यूहन्‍ना ८: ३३ - ३९ भी देखें ।
