From top to bottom

Here is an interesting parallel between a couple of gospel accounts of Jesus’ crucifixion:

“But the tunic was seamless, woven in one piece from top to bottom, so they said to one another, ‘Let us not tear it, but cast lots for it to see whose it shall be’” (John 19:23-24).

“And the curtain of the temple was torn in two, from top to bottom” (Matthew 15:38).

I doubt there’s much significance in this since neither author tries to draw this parallel. But I thought it was interesting anyway.
