Jn 21:12b ... Yet not one of the disciples dared to question him, ... "Who are you?"

The gematria value of the unspoken question = 1,125 units

The 3rd and 4th phrases have these 7 narrator and 3 dialog words ... oudeis de etolma tōn mathētōn eksetasai auton, ... Su {600} tis {510} ei {15} (Not one yet was daring of the disciples to ask him, ... "You who are")?

Diagram 1: This is a hypothetical diagram based on the words of the text. The 7 words of the first phrase take the place of the 7 disciples around the charcoal fire. The 3 dialog words are the perfect number of words to reach from the most daring disciple all the way to Jesus standing on the far side of the fire. The 3 words that the disciples dared not ask ... “Who are you?” have a gematria value of 1,125 units, the same number as the perimeter of a square enclosing the face of Jesus.

Diagram 2: The 7 disciples all know that Jesus died on the cross so they all seem to be afraid to begin a conversation with him. According to the gematria diagrams in the Gospel of Mark, Jesus came back as a youth with a glorified body. If Jesus came back this morning looking younger than they remembered him when he died this explains their hesitation to speak. However, this young man spoke, acted, and even looked like Jesus and here he was in Galilee just like he promised. They must have been thinking, "this is Jesus," but they couldn't say it! This diagram shows their silence. Not even one of the seven disciples dared to question him,... "Who are you?".
