AMIN | {Matthew, Luke} | 40
AMIN | {Mark, John} | 41
There are patterns in the Greek Scriptures involving the numbers 40 and 41. These patterns prove the Divine Inspiration of The Scriptures. The New Testament text is the 1904 Patriarchal Text which is the official Greek New Testament Text of the Orthodox Church.
The number 40 occurs many times throughout the Scriptures, primarily in the context of time: 40 days or 40 years. The number 40 points to the Mystery of The Incarnation: 40 weeks.
The pair {40, 41} correspond to the number of calendar weeks from The Feast of Annunciation to the Nativity. If Annunciation happens on Friday or Saturday then there are 41 calendar weeks, else there are 40 calendar weeks.
Here are the first three examples of the pattern. These three all have value 40.
Pattern 1: ‘EGO EIMI’ (I AM) spoken by God in the New Testament | 40
Pattern 2: ‘PROSUKNEO’ (Worship) in the context of the Worship of God | 40
Pattern 3: ONOMA (Name) in the context of the Name of God | {Matthew, Mark, Luke} | 40
A few of the patterns are posted on my website: ** you do not have permission to see this link **
It helps to go through them in the order they are posted as some of the later patterns build on the previous ones.
This pattern begins in Genesis One (Septuagint). For example here is the Greek translated into English:
Genesis One | References to God | 41
1 In the beginning [God 1] made the heaven and the earth. 2 But the earth was unsightly and unfurnished, and darkness was over the deep, and [The Spirit of God 2] moved over the water. 3 And [God 3] said, Let there be light, and there was light. 4 And [God 4] saw the light that it was good, and [God 5] divided between the light and the darkness. 5 And [God 6] called the light Day, and the darkness [He 7] called Night, and there was evening and there was morning, the first day. 6 And [God 8] said, Let there be a firmament in the midst of the water, and let it be a division between water and water, and it was so. 7 And [God 9] made the firmament, and [God 10] divided between the water which was under the firmament and the water which was above the firmament. 8 And [God 11] called the firmament Heaven, and [God 12] saw that it was good, and there was evening and there was morning, the second day. 9 And [God 13] said, Let the water which is under the heaven be collected into one place, and let the dry land appear, and it was so. And the water which was under the heaven was collected into its places, and the dry land appeared. 10 And [God 14] called the dry land Earth, and the gatherings of the waters [He 15] called Seas, and [God 16] saw that it was good. 11 And [God 17] said, Let the earth bring forth the herb of grass bearing seed according to its kind and according to its likeness, and the fruit-tree bearing fruit whose seed is in it, according to its kind on the earth, and it was so. 12 And the earth brought forth the herb of grass bearing seed according to its kind and according to its likeness, and the fruit tree bearing fruit whose seed is in it, according to its kind on the earth, and [God 18] saw that it was good. 13 And there was evening and there was morning, the third day. 14 And [God 19] said, Let there be lights in the firmament of the heaven to give light upon the earth, to divide between day and night, and let them be for signs and for seasons and for days and for years. 15 And let them be for light in the firmament of the heaven, so as to shine upon the earth, and it was so. 16 And [God 20] made the two great lights, the greater light for regulating the day and the lesser light for regulating the night, the stars also. 17 And [God 21] placed them in the firmament of the heaven, so as to shine upon the earth, 18 and to regulate day and night, and to divide between the light and the darkness. And [God 22] saw that it was good. 19 And there was evening and there was morning, the fourth day. 20 And [God 23] said, Let the waters bring forth living (psuchon zoson) reptiles, and winged creatures flying above the earth in the firmament of heaven, and it was so. 21 And [God 24] made great whales, and every living (psuchen zoon) reptile, which the waters brought forth according to their kinds, and every creature that flies with wings according to its kind, and [God 25] saw that they were good. 22 And [God 26] blessed them saying, Increase and multiply and fill the waters in the seas, and let the creatures that fly be multiplied on the earth. 23 And there was evening and there was morning, the fifth day. 24 And [God 27] said, Let the earth bring forth the living soul (psuchen zosan) according to its kind, quadrupeds and reptiles and wild beasts of the earth according to their kind, and it was so. 25 And [God 28] made the wild beasts of the earth according to their kind, and cattle according to their kind, and all the reptiles of the earth according to their kind, and [God 29] saw that they were good. 26 And [God 30] said, Let [Us 31] make man according to [Our 32] image and likeness, and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the flying creatures of heaven, and over the cattle and all the earth, and over all the reptiles that creep on the earth. 27 And [God 33] made man, according to the image of [God 34] [He 35] made him, male and female [He 36] made them. 28 And [God 37] blessed them, saying, Increase and multiply, and fill the earth and subdue it, and have dominion over the fish of the seas and flying creatures of heaven, and all the cattle and all the earth, and all the reptiles that creep on the earth. 29 And [God 38] said, Behold [I 39] have given to you every seed-bearing herb sowing seed which is upon all the earth, and every tree which has in itself the fruit of seed that is sown, to you it shall be for food. 30 And to all the wild beasts of the earth, and to all the flying creatures of heaven, and to every reptile creeping on the earth, which has in itself the soul of life, even every green plant for food; and it was so. 31 And [God 40] saw all the things that [He 41] had made, and, behold, they were very good. And there was evening and there was morning, the sixth day.
If you count the verbs, again the value is 41:
1 In the beginning God [made 1] the heaven and the earth. 2 But the earth was unsightly and unfurnished, and darkness was over the deep, and The Spirit of God [moved 2] over the water. 3 And God [said 3], Let there be light, and there was light. 4 And God [saw 4] the light that it was good, and God [divided 5] between the light and the darkness. 5 And God [called 6] the light Day, and the darkness He [called 7] Night, and there was evening and there was morning, the first day. 6 And God [said 8], Let there be a firmament in the midst of the water, and let it be a division between water and water, and it was so. 7 And God [made 9] the firmament, and God [divided 10] between the water which was under the firmament and the water which was above the firmament. 8 And God [called 11] the firmament Heaven, and God [saw 12] that it was good, and there was evening and there was morning, the second day. 9 And God [said 13], Let the water which is under the heaven be collected into one place, and let the dry land appear, and it was so. And the water which was under the heaven was collected into its places, and the dry land appeared. 10 And God [called 14] the dry land Earth, and the gatherings of the waters He [called 15] Seas, and God [saw 16] that it was good. 11 And God [said 17], Let the earth bring forth the herb of grass bearing seed according to its kind and according to its likeness, and the fruit-tree bearing fruit whose seed is in it, according to its kind on the earth, and it was so. 12 And the earth brought forth the herb of grass bearing seed according to its kind and according to its likeness, and the fruit tree bearing fruit whose seed is in it, according to its kind on the earth, and God [saw 18] that it was good. 13 And there was evening and there was morning, the third day. 14 And God [said 19], Let there be lights in the firmament of the heaven to give light upon the earth, to divide between day and night, and let them be for signs and for seasons and for days and for years. 15 And let them be for light in the firmament of the heaven, so as to shine upon the earth, and it was so. 16 And God [made 20] the two great lights, the greater light for regulating the day and the lesser light for regulating the night, the stars also. 17 And God [placed 21] them in the firmament of the heaven, so as to shine upon the earth, 18 and to regulate day and night, and to divide between the light and the darkness. And God [saw 22] that it was good. 19 And there was evening and there was morning, the fourth day. 20 And God [said 23], Let the waters bring forth living (psuchon zoson) reptiles, and winged creatures flying above the earth in the firmament of heaven, and it was so. 21 And God [made 24] great whales, and every living (psuchen zoon) reptile, which the waters brought forth according to their kinds, and every creature that flies with wings according to its kind, and God [saw 25] that they were good. 22 And God [blessed 26] them [saying 27], Increase and multiply and fill the waters in the seas, and let the creatures that fly be multiplied on the earth. 23 And there was evening and there was morning, the fifth day. 24 And God [said 28], Let the earth bring forth the living soul (psuchen zosan) according to its kind, quadrupeds and reptiles and wild beasts of the earth according to their kind, and it was so. 25 And God [made 29] the wild beasts of the earth according to their kind, and cattle according to their kind, and all the reptiles of the earth according to their kind, and God [saw 30] that they were good. 26 And God [said 31], Let Us [make 32] man according to Our image and likeness, and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the flying creatures of heaven, and over the cattle and all the earth, and over all the reptiles that creep on the earth. 27 And God [made 33] man, according to the image of God He [made 34] him, male and female He [made 35] them. 28 And God [blessed 36] them, [saying 37], Increase and multiply, and fill the earth and subdue it, and have dominion over the fish of the seas and flying creatures of heaven, and all the cattle and all the earth, and all the reptiles that creep on the earth. 29 And God [said 38], Behold I have [given 39] to you every seed-bearing herb sowing seed which is upon all the earth, and every tree which has in itself the fruit of seed that is sown, to you it shall be for food. 30 And to all the wild beasts of the earth, and to all the flying creatures of heaven, and to every reptile creeping on the earth, which has in itself the breath of life, even every green plant for food; and it was so. 31 And God [saw 40] all the things that He had [made 41], and, behold, they were very good. And there was evening and there was morning, the sixth day.

‘ 23ἀλλ’ ἔρχεται ὥρα, καὶ νῦν ἐστιν, ὅτε οἱ ἀληθινοὶ προσκυνηταὶ προσκυνήσουσι τῷ πατρὶ ἐν πνεύματι καὶ ἀληθείᾳ· καὶ γὰρ ὁ πατὴρ τοιούτους ζητεῖ τοὺς προσκυνοῦντας αὐτόν. 24πνεῦμα ὁ Θεός, καὶ τοὺς προσκυνοῦντας αὐτὸν ἐν πνεύματι καὶ ἀληθείᾳ δεῖ προσκυνεῖν‘ – John 4
The word ‘PROSKUNEO’ is the *primary Greek word* which is used to denote WORSHIP in The Orthodox Church.
It is the specific word the Fathers of The Second Ecumenical Council used to denote the WORSHIP of The Triune God in The Confession of Faith.
‘Καὶ εἰς τὸ Πνεῦμα τὸ Ἅγιον, τὸ κύριον, τὸ ζῳοποιόν,τὸ ἐκ τοῦ Πατρὸς ἐκπορευόμενον,τὸ σὺν Πατρὶ καὶ Υἱῷ συμπροσκυνούμενον καὶ συνδοξαζόμενον,τὸ λαλῆσαν διὰ τῶν προφητῶν’ – Nicene Constantinopolitan Creed
‘And in The Holy Spirit, The Lord, The Giver of life, who Proceeds from The Father, who with The Father and The Son together is Worshiped and Glorified, who spoke by the prophets’ – Nicene Constantinopolitan Creed
Rather, God Inspired The Holy Ecumenical Councils of The Orthodox Church as He Inspired The Holy Scriptures and Worship of The Orthodox Church.
King David | Four Gospels | 40 Instances

25. [David 25] therefore Himself calleth Him Lord; and whence is He then his son? And the common people heard Him gladly. Mark 12:37

28. And hath raised up an Horn of Salvation for us in The House of His servant [David 28]; Luke 1:69

38. [David 38] therefore calleth him Lord, how is He then his Son? Luke 20:44
39, 40. Hath not The Scripture said, That Christ cometh of The Seed of [David 39], and out of the town of Bethlehem, where [David 40] was? John 7:42
Notes.
(7) The Great King is of course The Lord Himself – but we observe here two Typologies: [1] that between King David and Christ who is of the Seed of David who David calls Lord and is The King of kings, and [2] that of the Earthly Jerusalem which is repeatedly called the ‘City of David’ in the Holy Scriptures, and the Heavenly Jerusalem which is from above. ’25For this Agar is mount Sinai in Arabia, and answereth to Jerusalem which now is, and is in bondage with her children. 26But Jerusalem which is above is free, which is the mother of us all.’ – Galatians 4
Are you aware of the significance of the number 40 in the Scriptures?

Oops, 42 not 40. You left out two uses of σταυρόω in Galatians:
Sorry, should have clarified – we are counting “crucify” specifically in the context of the Lord’s crucifixion.
Galatians 5:24 and Galatians 6:14 are both speaking about the passions which the Christian must crucify in the flesh.
