'First Man' in the Bible

I tell you, even though the man inside will not get up and give him anything because he is his friend, yet because of the first man's sheer persistence he will get up and give him whatever he needs.

But when a stronger man attacks and conquers him, he takes away the first man's armor on which the man relied and divides up his plunder.

They all with one accord began to ask to be excused. The first man said to the servant 'I have bought a field and am obliged to go and look at it. I must ask you to consider me excused.'
