This is just a tentative list of repetitions. While listening to the story on Good Friday, last, I was struck by “If you are the Son of God” in Matthew 27 — because it was precisely the words of Satan in the temptation. Then I thought of the difference in the sky: it was torn open in the baptism; it was closed in the crucifixion.  Anyway, here are some notes to develop to some day:

Baptism	Crucifixion
All Jerusalem went out to see him	The crowd before Pilate
Pharisees and Sadducees	Chief priests and the elders
John hesitates to baptize Jesus	Pilate hesitates to kill Jesus
John warns them to repent	Let him be crucified
Even now the ax is laid at the root of the tree	His blood be on us
The heavens were opened	There was darkness over the face of the land [the heavens were closed]
the Spirit of God descended like a dove and coming to rest on him;	My God, My God why have you forsaken me
this is my beloved Son	the soldier, truly this was the Son of God.
Satan, if you are the Son of God	those who passed by, “if you are the Son of God”
Satan tempts Jesus with bread	they offered him wine to drink, mixed with gall
Satan tempts Jesus at the temple	You who would destroy the temple and in three days build it up
All these will I give you [kingship]	the soldiers mock Jesus as king This is King of the Jews
