As for what the Bible - the Old and the New Testament - say about the Ahl-ul-Bayt { AS } I have not had thechance to research this matter thoroughly, and I would not be surprised to find more references about the Ahl-ul-Bayt (AS). However there are many direct references about the Ahl-ul-Bayt (AS).
In the Old Testament in one instance Allah Almighty says to Moses (AS) I shall send among your brethren a prophet like unto you . . . and the description given therein match those of Rasulollah (S) see Deuteronomy 18:18:
“I will raise them up a Prophet from among their brethren, like unto thee, and will put my words in his mouth; and he shall speak unto them all that I shall command him.”
Again in the Old Testament
Allah Almighty refers to the slaughter of Karbala as can be seen from Jeremiah 46:10:
"For the Lord GOD of hosts hath a sacrifice in the north country by the river Euphrates ."
In the New Testament Jesus tells his followers of the coming of a great Prophet after him:
"Nevertheless I tell you the truth; It is expedient for you that I go away: for if I go not away, the Comforter will not come unto you; but if I depart, I will send him unto you."John 16:7.
And the Comforter here is NOT the Holy Ghost as some commentators have us believe; since the Holy Ghost had been around according to other verses in
the New Testament
Many more references in the Bible about Rasulollah (S) & the Ahl-ul-Bayt (AS) will be found but that needs to be researched and investigated more
