Jn 21:2e ... and others out of-the disciples of-him two.

The 6th phrase has these 7 narrator words, ... kai alloi ek tōn mathētōn autou duo (and others out of-the disciples of-him two).

The 7 narrator words are bottom up representing Simon and his six disciples. Verse 2 has 5 named disciples of Simon: Thomas, Nathanael, the father Zebedee, and his two un-named sons. From diagram 2d we know the father Zebedee only has two sons because that's all for which the diagram has room. Diagram 2e only has room for 7 words, Simon, and two disciples. Since verse 2 already named 5 disciples, there is only room for one other disciple. The first of the two disciples must therefore be one of the five already named. The logical choice is the father Zebedee. The second of the two disciples must therefore be named in a subsequent verse. The only logical choice appears in verse 7, "that one whom Jesus was loving." That one is called "the beloved disciple," who is never named. That one is only revealed by a gematria riddle, a mystery. All the disciples are men who are later called "brothers" (Jn 21:23).
