Jn 5:5a ... There-was yet a-certain man there, ...

Verse 5 has 3 phrases containing 14 narrator words. The 1st phrase has these 5 words, ... Ēn de tis anthropos ekei (There-was yet a-certain man there, ...).

The 5 narrator words are top down. The 3 words "tis anthropos ekei" (a-certain man there) are tangent to the certain sick man. The later text says the man was suffering from "asthéneia," meaning "no strength" (the "a" negates the root sthenos, meaning "strength"). The diagram shows the man inside the sign of an "Unclean Spirit," an equilateral triangle signifying the abstract noun "weakness or infirmity."
