Interested readers - 

A while back, maybe 2023, I posted a short piece about the primacy of the number 113 and Jesus. This was based on the numbers in Matthew 1:1, the first verse of a New Covenant. 

My Atlas Pages entry shows where 113 resides. It is the highest prime factor of the TVG (Total Verse Gematria) as shown:

Matthew 1:1

“The book of the genealogy of Jesus Christ, the Son of David, the Son of Abraham:"

Verse 23146 (…163)< pr39

TVG 5876 (…113) < pr31

Following that logic, leads to the verse that records the earliest words to come out of Jesus’ mouth. This was when He was twelve years old sitting in the Temple conversing with religious leaders. Joseph and Mary finally found Him after (3) days. Distraught, they asked Him why would He do such a thing, to which He replied: 

Luke 2:49 

“And He said to them, ‘Why did you seek Me? Did you not know that I must be about My Father’s business?’”

Verse 25023 (…439)< pr86

TVG 7345 (…113)< pr31

Once again, even more dramatically, 113 shows up as the highest prime factor of the TVG (Total Verse Gematria). 

Jesus does all things well!
