John 1:51, καὶ λέγει αὐτῷ, Ἀμὴν ἀμὴν λέγω ὑμῖν, ὄψεσθε τὸν οὐρανὸν ἀνεῳγότα καὶ τοὺς ἀγγέλους τοῦ θεοῦ ἀναβαίνοντας καὶ καταβαίνοντας ἐπὶ τὸν υἱὸν τοῦ ἀνθρώπου

compare Luke 24:45,
τότε διήνοιξεν αὐτῶν τὸν νοῦν τοῦ συνιέναι τὰς γραφάς
both seem to be about Jacob's dream in Luz with Jesus imagined as the stone that served Jacob as cushion for his head

(since Emmaus was so called after "ulam luz", Genesis 28:19 ) sefaria.org/Genesis.28.19?…
The stone contained the oil with which Jacob did anoint it, since he arrive there empty handed




John 1:51 imagines the son of man as the stone that served Jacob as a cushion for his head!

sefaria.org/Genesis.28.12?…
sefaria.org/Genesis.28.18?…
which seems to be John's version of the stone rejected by the (house)builders (of Psalms 118:20) as the son of man rejected by the elders and the chief priests and the scribes (Mark 8:31 and 12:10)
Rashi: God made the stones that Jacob took of that place into one stone, "even achat" = Einstein!

sefaria.org/Genesis.28.11?…
which seems to be about the 1-4 principle of the bible !

twitter.com/search?q=1-4%2…
the more since it is written:
"v'hinnei sulam mutzav artsah v'rosho maggiya hashamaymah"

and see "sulam" standing on the earth (with four corners) and its (one) head touching the heaven

Luke 2:29-32
Νῦν ἀπολύεις τὸν δοῦλόν σου, δέσποτα, κατὰ τὸ ῥῆμά σου ἐν εἰρήνῃ· ὅτι εἶδον οἱ ὀφθαλμοί μου τὸ σωτήριόν σου ὃ ἡτοίμασας κατὰ πρόσωπον πάντων τῶν λαῶν, φῶς εἰς ἀποκάλυψιν ἐθνῶν καὶ δόξαν λαοῦ σου Ἰσραήλ.

esv.org/Luke+2/
κατὰ τὸ ῥῆμά σου
also in Luke 1:38
εἶπεν δὲ Μαριάμ, Ἰδοὺ ἡ δούλη κυρίου· γένοιτό μοι κατὰ τὸ ῥῆμά σου. καὶ ἀπῆλθεν ἀπ' αὐτῆς ὁ ἄγγελος.
esv.org/Luke+1/
and I bet it builds on Deuteronomy 8 cited in Matthew 4:4,
ὁ δὲ ἀποκριθεὶς εἶπεν, Γέγραπται, Οὐκ ἐπ' ἄρτῳ μόνῳ ζήσεται ὁ ἄνθρωπος, ἀλλ' ἐπὶ παντὶ ῥήματι ἐκπορευομένῳ διὰ στόματος θεοῦ.

Luke 13:18-19
Τίνι ὁμοία ἐστὶν ἡ βασιλεία τοῦ θεοῦ καὶ τίνι ὁμοιώσω αὐτήν; ὁμοία ἐστὶν κόκκῳ σινάπεως ὃν λαβὼν ἄνθρωπος ἔβαλεν εἰς κῆπον ἑαυτοῦ, καὶ ηὔξησεν καὶ ἐγένετο εἰς δένδρον, καὶ τὰ πετεινὰ τοῦ οὐρανοῦ κατεσκήνωσεν ἐν τοῖς κλάδοις αὐτοῦ
κόκκος - a kernel of seed; grain of corn
biblehub.com/greek/2848.htm

κῆπος - a garden
biblehub.com/greek/2779.htm
κηπουρός - a garden-watcher

John 20:15
ἐκείνη δοκοῦσα ὅτι ὁ κηπουρός ἐστιν

like Adam
Genesis 2:15
Καὶ ἔλαβεν κύριος ὁ θεὸς τὸν ἄνθρωπον, ὃν ἔπλασεν, καὶ ἔθετο αὐτὸν ἐν τῷ παραδείσῳ ἐργάζεσθαι αὐτὸν καὶ φυλάσσεινbiblehub.com/greek/2780.htm

NT has Jesus crucified on the sixth day because of Deuteronomy 8:8 mentions the oilproducing olive as sixth fruit of the land

Luke 24:35,
Then they told what had happened on the road, and how he was known to them in the breaking of the bread.

bread = first fruit of the seven species

Weinreb on Deuteronomy 8:8
"Das Brot ist schon von vorher da!"

Luke 24:21,
But we kept hoping that he was the one to redeem Israel. Yes, and besides all this, it is now the third day since these things happened.

the third day since the sixth = new day one

Matthew 24:34-35
ἀμὴν λέγω ὑμῖν ὅτι οὐ μὴ παρέλθῃ ἡ γενεὰ αὕτη ἕως ἂν πάντα ταῦτα γένηται. ὁ οὐρανὸς καὶ ἡ γῆ παρελεύσεται, οἱ δὲ λόγοι μου οὐ μὴ παρέλθωσιν.

παρέρχομαι
biblehub.com/greek/3928.htm
KJV translates

Verily I say unto you, This generation shall not pass, till all these things be fulfilled. Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my words shall not pass away.

English "pass away" = to die
But "to die" is not a meaning of παρέρχομαιkingjamesbible.me/Matthew-Chapte…

John 1:15,
Ἰωάννης μαρτυρεῖ περὶ αὐτοῦ (= the word that became flesh)
καὶ κέκραγεν λέγων, Οὗτος ἦν ὃν εἶπον, Ὁ ὀπίσω μου ἐρχόμενος ἔμπροσθέν μου γέγονεν, ὅτι πρῶτός μου ἦν

Οὗτος ἦν also in John 1:2,
οὗτος ἦν ἐν ἀρχῇ πρὸς τὸν θεόν
cf. Rashi on Genesis 1:1
in the beginning it was his intention to create it with the standard of justice, but he perceived that the world would not endure; so he preceded it with the standard of mercy, allying it with the standard of justice

sefaria.org/Rashi_on_Genes…
It is to this that what is written in (Genesis 2:4) alludes — “In the day that the Lord God made earth and heaven”

Rashi on Genesis 2:4, The verse teaches you that all of them were created on the first day when God made earth and heaven
