Hebrews 11:17
World English Bible (WEB)
By faith, Abraham, being tested, offered up Isaac. Yes, he who had gladly received the promises was offering up his only born son,
In context
15 If indeed they had been thinking of that country from which they went out, they would have had enough time to return.
16 But now they desire a better country, that is, a heavenly one. Therefore God is not ashamed of them, to be called their God, for he has prepared a city for them.
17 By faith, Abraham, being tested, offered up Isaac. Yes, he who had gladly received the promises was offering up his only born son,
18 to whom it was said, “Your offspring will be accounted as from Isaac,”
19 concluding that God is able to raise up even from the dead. Figuratively speaking, he also did receive him back from the dead.
