Hebrews 11:17 in Context — Hebrews 11

15 S’ils avaient eu en vue celle d’où ils étaient sortis, ils auraient eu le temps d’y retourner.

16 Mais maintenant ils en désirent une meilleure, c’est-à-dire une céleste. C’est pourquoi Dieu n’a pas honte d’être appelé leur Dieu, car il leur a préparé une cité.

17 C’est par la foi qu’Abraham offrit Isaac, lorsqu’il fut mis à l’épreuve, et qu’il offrit son fils unique, lui qui avait reçu les promesses,

18 et à qui il avait été dit: En Isaac sera nommée pour toi une postérité.

19 Il pensait que Dieu est puissant, même pour ressusciter les morts; aussi le recouvra-t-il par une sorte de résurrection.
