Abraham, David, etc. The Holy Bible is also, amazingly, not meant to be a comprehensive record of Jesus' entire life and ministry, as the apostle John wrote that there were MANY miracles, works and pieces of information regarding Christ he choose not to include John Something designated as being holy must be dedicated to being blameless or pure.
