Jn 6:16 ... Yet as it became evening, his disciples stepped down upon the sea.

Verse 16 has two phrases containing these 11 narrator words ... Ōs de opsia egeneto, katebēsan oi mathetai autou epi tēn thalassan (As yet evening it became, stepped-down the disciples of him upon the sea).

The 11 words are top down. The 4 words Ōs de opsia egeneto (As yet evening it became) are tangent to the disciples in vesica mode, the mountain, and the "dark evening sky" coming down on the everything below it. The 7 words katebēsan oi mathetai autou epi tēn thalassan (stepped-down the disciples of him upon the sea) are tangent to the disciples, the mountain, and the sea. The diagram shows the six empty triangles in the mountain are each occupied with two disciples. Only two of the twelve were able to "step-down" upon the sea.
