Jn 2:04 ... And says to her the Jesus, "What (is that) to me and to you woman? Not yet comes the hour of me."

Verse 4 has three phrases of five words each, ... Kai legei autē ho Iēsous, Ti emoi kai soi gunai, oupō hēkei hē hōra mou (And says to her the Jesus, "What to me and to you woman? Not yet comes the hour of me").

The 5 narrator words are bottom up. The 10 dialog words are clockwise. From the previous diagram, the mother of Jesus spoke three words to him, representing from verse 1 the time period of "three days." The gematria catechumen would expect a five word answer from Jesus, representing the distance to his mother. The text does not disappoint! The author says his five words, then Jesus answers his mother with two sentences of five words each. The ten word-play answer recalls the text of John 1:39 "the hour was about the tenth." In the diagram, the ten Jesus circles (888) represent words and hours. One can clearly see "the tenth hour" has not come tangent to Jesus.
