Abstract
The Pontifical Biblical Commission’s document The Jewish People andtheir Sacred Scriptures in the Christian Bible calls attention to a threefoldconnection between the two parts of the Christian Bible: continuity, discontinuityand newness. The paper offers an analysis of a passage as an exampleof this relationship. The Epistle to the Hebrews (11:8-22) puts a particularemphasis on the desires of the patriarchs among other attitudes of the heroesof faith. They were looking for what was promised to them and desired bythem: a city with solid foundations planned and built by God. Now thosedesires can be fulfilled: the everlasting life with God is offered to all whobelieve in Jesus Christ.
