| 1a - 7f | 8a 8b 8c 8d | 9a 9b 9c 9d | 10 | 11a 11b 11c 11d | 12a 12b 12c | 13a 13b 13c | 14a 14b | Jn 21:8d ... dragging the net of-the fishes.
The 4th phrase has these 5 narrator words ... surontes to diktuon tōn ixthuōn (dragging the net of-the fishes). The 5 words are bottom up tangent to all 6 disciples and Simon. The Greek word "surontes" means "to draw or drag." The laws of physics allow the 6 disciples to drag the "net of-the fishes", and Simon, who is in the sea, to be "dragging the" (boat and the net) to the land. All 7 are dragging in the same direction to the shore and all 7 are tangent to the word circles. The imagry of the diagram agrees with the imagery of the gospel text. |
