Jn 2:16a ... And to the ones the doves selling he said, "Take these things from here"

Verse 16 has three phrases containing 6 narrator and 12 dialog words. The first two phrases contain these 6 narrator and 3 dialog words in this order ... Kai tois tas peristeras polousin eipen, "Arate tauta enteuthen" (And to the ones the doves selling he said, ... "Take these things from here")!

The 9 words are top down. This verse shows how the words dictate where the images need to be drawn. The words Kai eipen (And he said) are tangent to the face of Jesus. The words tois polousin (to the ones selling) are tangent to the "two merchants." The words tas peristeras (the doves) are tangent to "the cages holding the doves." The word tauta (these things) is tangent to the doves inside their cages. Jesus has given a direct order to these sellers. The next diagram will show if they obey.
