Jn 21:13b ... And he gives (it) to them.

The 2nd phrase has these 3 narrator words ... kai didōsin autois [And he-gives (it) to-them, ...].

The 3 narrator words are top down. In order for Jesus to evenly distribute the artoi (loaves of bread), the 7 disciples line up in a row across the land tangent to their centers in a "vesica pisces" formation. The two words "didōsin autois" (he-gives to-them) are tangent to the arms of Jesus and overlap the outline of their silhouettes. The hands of Jesus are tangent to a row of 16 loaves of bread. Jesus puts 2 loaves into each of the 8 vesicas formed by the intersections of the 7 disciples. Each vesica is approximately 306 units wide, the same number as the diameter of 2 loaves. The width of all 8 intersections is therefore 8 x 306 = 2,448 units, the same number as the width of the "land" or the diameter of 16 "loaves of bread." The 16 fish are in the bottom of the boat. The top of their outline is tangent to the center point of the disciples and the bread.
