New Testament

Genesis 21:9-13 New Century Version (NCV)

9. But Sarah saw Ishmael making fun of Isaac. (Ishmael was the son of Abraham by Hagar, Sarah’s Egyptian slave.)

10. So Sarah said to Abraham, “Throw out this slave woman and her son. Her son should not inherit anything; my son Isaac should receive it all.”

11. This troubled Abraham very much because Ishmael was also his son.

12. But God said to Abraham, “Don’t be troubled about the boy and the slave woman. Do whatever Sarah tells you. The descendants I promised you will be from Isaac.

13. I will also make the descendants of Ishmael into a great nation because he is your son, too.”
