Jn 1:27a ... "the one coming after me, of whom I am not worthy, ..."

Verse 27 has three phrases containing 16 dialog words. The first two phrases have these 9 words, ... ho opisō mou erchomenos, ou ouk eimi egō aksios, ("the one after me coming, of whom not am I worthy, ...").

The 9 words are top down. The first phrase, "the one coming after me" is tangent to and refers to Jesus. The second phrase, "of whom not am I worthy" is tangent to John speaking of himself. Jesus is hanging inside an equilateral triangle suspended between these 9 words which sets up the geometry for the next seven word phrase.
