Jn 21:16c ... (Jesus) He-says to-him, ... "Shepherd the sheep of-me."

The 7th and 8th phrases contain these 2 narrator and 4 dialog words, ... legei autō, Poimaine ta probata mou (He-says to-him, ... "Shepherd the sheep of-me").

The 2 narrator words are tangent to the face of Jesus. The 4 dialog words are bottom up. The Greek verb poimaino means to "herd, sheep-herd, pasture, or feed." The word Poimaine (Shepherd) is tangent to the mouth of Simon which shows him simultaneously feeding and herding the disciples (sheep). The 3 words ta probata mou (the sheep of-me) overlap Jesus and his other six disciples which look like living balls of wool (sheep).
