"Brothers, I can tell you confidently that the patriarch David died and was buried, and that his tomb is among us to this day.

Later, God gave Abraham the covenant of circumcision. Later, he fathered Isaac and circumcised him on the eighth day. Then Isaac fathered Jacob, and Jacob fathered the twelve patriarchs.

To the Israelis belong the patriarchs, and from them, the Messiah descended, who is God over all, the one who is forever blessed. Amen.

Just look at how great this man was! Even Abraham the patriarch himself gave him a tenth of what he had captured!

Moses gave you circumcision not that it is from Moses, but from the Patriarchs and so you circumcise a man on the Sabbath.
