Numerical Patterns in Luke

A couple of interesting numerical patterns in Luke:

First, in Luke 18:31-34, Jesus predicts His coming suffering and death in this way:

[The Son of Man] will be

1) delivered to the Gentiles
2) mocked
3) mistreated
4) spit upon
5) scourged
6) killed

But when the Gentiles have done their worst, and fulfilled their sixfold attack on the Son (six being the number of man), a seventh follows:

7) and the third day He will rise again.

The Son of Man, Last Adam, will move past the day of man into a new sabbath.

And here's another pattern in 20:46-47, where Jesus is warning His disciples about the scribes who like to

1) walk around in long robes
2) love respectful greetings in the market places
3) [love] chief seats in the synagogues
4) [love] places of honor at banquets
5) devour widows' houses
6) and for appearance's sake offer long prayers.

Here the seventh clause, the punch line, is not a Sabbatical resurrection but a Sabbatical judgment:

7) these will receive greater condemnation.
