Jn 21:13a ... Jesus ~ comes and takes the bread, ...

Verse 13 has 3 phrases containing 13 narrator words. The 1st phrase has these 6 words ... erchetai Iēsous kai lambanei ton arton (comes Jesus and takes the bread, ... ). The gematria value of "artoi" (loaves of bread) is 481 units which is equal to the circumference of a circle that represents a single loaf of bread. By computation, each loaf has a diameter of 153 units, the same number as the width of a little-fish.

The 6 words are top down from the arms of Jesus to the bread. As the previous diagram shows, the 7 disciples are in silhouette body-mode inside their little-boat. Jesus took the fish and bread off the charcoal fire and put them in the bottom of the boat. The 4 words "erchetai Iēsous kai lambanei" (comes Jesus and takes) are tangent to his extended arms. The 2 words "ton arton" (the bread) are exactly tangent to the extended hands of Jesus holding and tangent to 16 "loaves of bread" directly over the net full of 16 "little fish."
