Jn 21:17d ... The Jesus says to-him, ... "Graze the sheep of-me."

The 10th and 11th phrases have these 4 narrator and 4 dialog words ... legei autō ho Iēsous, Boske ta probata mou (he-says to-him the Jesus, ... "Graze the sheep of-me").

The 4 narrator words are top down, the 4 dialog words are bottom up. Jesus directed his attention to the other six disciples in the boat with this command. The first phrase is tangent to Jesus. The verb Boske (feed) is tangent to the 6 disciples, 12 fish, and 12 loaves. The last 3 words are tangent to Jesus and overlap the 6 disciples. Simon has now given his double portion of fish and bread to his six brothers (twins) showing he now also has the power to multiply fish and bread just like Jesus did when he fed the five thousand (John 6:5-15).
