"Abraham is our ancestor" or "We are descendants of Abraham." The Jewish leaders thought that God would not punish them since they were descendants of Abraham. (See: rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-explicit)

"God is able to make physical descendants out of even these stones and give them to Abraham"
