Mk 3:7 ... And Jesus with his disciples "leave space" before the sea.

The verb anexoresen (they went away, departed), formed from the preposition ana (into the midst) and the verb choreo (to leave space), is translated literally as "leave room into the midst." This word is a drawing instruction.

When the four disciples make room before a sea in the middle of the graph, the space is large enough to hold all the crowds that follow. I see no logical reason to keep the bracketed words below in verse 3:7 They fit much better in verse 3:8.

Mk 3:8 ... [And a vast multitude from Galilee followed him, and from Judea] ... and from Jerusalem, and from Idumea, and the other side of the Jordan, and around Tyre, and Sidon, a vast multitude hearing everything he did came before him.

Verse 3:8 gives a detailed description of the crowd that arrives in the midst of the room that Jesus and the four disciples make for them. Here the crowd appears inside an inclusio, the words "polu plethos" and "plethos polu," meaning "a vast multitude." The text then names seven locations, just the number needed for an amazing diagram!

The text literally says the multitude heard everything Jesus "made" (epoiei), translated as "did" in all bibles. Jesus makes things appear by simply "calling" them. The first things Jesus made were the four fishermen when he "called" them before the sea in Mark 1:16-20. Here he makes the crowds come before him and the diagram shows what the crowds hear him do!

In the next parable Jesus will "call whom he wills to him" when he "makes" his twelve apostles. The text will again make use of an inclusio with the words "and he made the twelve" (kai epoihsen dodeka).
