Two books of beginning that hint at the ending

Book of Genesis
'And they sat before him (Joseph as God), the firstborn according to his birthright (Ishmael, Esau) and the youngest (Isaac, Jacob) according to his youth. And the men looked at one another in amazement.'

Gospel of John:
'When Jesus saw his mother and the disciple whom he loved standing nearby, he said to his mother, 'Woman, behold your son!' Then he said to the disciple, 'Behold, your mother!' And from that hour the disciple took her to his own home. After this, Jesus, knowing that all was now finished...'It is finished' 19.28
