Verse 1 has three phrases and 17 gospel text words (narrator or dialog), that take their size from the presumed speaker. The 1st phrase has these 5 words ... En arxē ēn ho logos (In "a-beginning" was "the word, ..."). The 5 narrator words are bottom up. The Greek noun "arxē" without the definite article means the word can be translated as "a-beginning." By convention, the sign of all abstract nouns is an equilateral triangle. Since "a-beginning" is an abstract noun, it's sign is an equilateral triangle. The two words,"ho logos = 443" (the word) is the name of a single sign, a circle with a circumference of 443 units. Exactly 16 and 4/6ths (16.666) signs of "the word" fit inside an equilateral triangle named "a-beginning." The presumed speaker is Jesus (888) with a circumference equal to the gematria value of his name. Jesus is referring to a sign called "ho logos = 443" (the word), a circle with a circumference of 443 units. START < Verse > Jn 1:1b |
