Schematic event sequence: John’s conception at day 0, Jesus’ conception at day 180, John’s birth at day 280 and Jesus’ birth at day 460. Successive gaps are 180, 100 and 180 days; both modeled pregnancies last 280 days. From Jesus’ birth, circumcision is 7 completed days or the inclusive eighth day, and the presentation marker is 39 completed days or the inclusive fortieth day.
