Mk 6:39 ... And he commanded them to recline ... everyone in Symposiums ... Symposiums on the green Grass.

The command for the crowd to "lie down" is an order to construct the crowd. The Greek word soom-pos’-ee-on means “a party with drink, food, discussion, and entertainment.” The “green grass” is a metaphor for the 5,000 men based on the following passage in Isaiah: “All mankind is grass, and all their glory like the flower of the field. The grass withers, the flower wilts, when the breath of the Lord blows upon it. So then, the people is the grass.” Isaiah 40:6-7.

The gnostic puns in the verse and their accompanying diagrams serve as entertainment and discussion for the symposium. The entertainment is the secret knowledge that geometry diagrams represent the loaves, fish, and the crowd. To see the symposium, you will need to download the book.
