Jn 1:4 ... In him Life was, and the Life was the Light of the Men.

Verse 4 has two phrases containing these 12 narrator words, ... En autō zōē ēn, kai hē zōē ēn to fōs tōn anthrōpōn (In him Life was, and the Life was the Light of the Men).

The 12 words are top down, left to right. Verse 1:2 explained the white equilateral triangle called "a beginning," was code for the unnamed Holy Spirit as is "Life." After "a beginning," the word zōē (Life) is the second abstract noun in John's Gospel. By convention, abstract nouns are equilateral triangles. The gematria value of "Life" (zōē) is 815 units. The trapezoid holding the three men is made from three equilateral triangles with sides of 815 units. Therefore the sign of Life is identical to the sign of Light. Each of the three men is enclosed in a sign of Light and Life. The diagram matches the imagery of the text.
