Jn 21:21a ... The Stone then having-seen this-one, ...

Verse 21 has 4 phrases containing 8 narrator and 4 dialog words. The 1st phrase has these 5 narrator words in Greek word order, ... touton oun idōn ho Petros (this-one then having-seen the Stone, ...)

The 2 words "ho Petros" (The Stone) are in the nominative case (the subject of a sentence). To an English reader, the Greek text has "this-one" seeing Simon which is wrong. The top 5 words are in the English word order with Simon (the subject of this sentence) seeing "this-one" in the middle of the diagram. The 5 narrator words are bottom up from Simon the Stone to "this-one," the Beloved Disciple. The first two words, "ho Petros" (the Stone) are tangent to the bottom white triangle, the sign of "a stone," and the name of "Simon Petros" (Simon Stone). The last word "touton" (this-one) lies on the chest of the beloved disciple.
