Jn 5:18b ... Because not only was he breaking the Sabbath, ...

The next 3 phrases contain these 8 narrator words ... hoti ou monon eluen to sabbaton, alla kai (because not only was he breaking the Sabbath, but also, ...).

The 8 words are bottom up. These 8 words show what the Jews thought about the 18 words Jesus said on a Sabbath shown in diagram 16b. The above six words "hoti ou monon eluen to sabbaton" (because not only was he breaking the Sabbath) are tangent to "the Sabbath. The 2 words "monon eluen" (only was he breaking) have broken off the bottom two corners of the Sabbath. The two words "alla kai" (but also) are tangent to Jesus and set the stage for what comes next, because he was doing "these things" on a Sabbath.
