Jn 21:23a ... Went-out therefore, this the word into the brothers, that the disciple, that-one, not would-die.

Verse 23 has 8 phrases and 33 words. The 1st through 5th phrases contain these 14 narrator words, ... eksēlthen oun houtos ho logos eis tois adelfous, hoti ho mathētēs ekeinos ouk apothnēskei (went-out therefore, this 'the word' into the brothers, that the disciple, that-one, not would-die).

The 14 narrator words are top down, the exact number needed to enclose the hexagram, brothers, and disciple. The last 8 words visually linking brothers with "that disciple" implies "brothers" can be called "disciples" and can be drawn with the same face. The 2 words ho logos (the word, 443), meaning "the rumor," then went-out "into" (eis) the brothers. Sure enough, two small word circles (443) fit in the space between each of the six brothers! The last 6 words is the rumor that the "beloved disciple" (brother) would not die. That is why he is drawn inside a white triangle with sides of 815 units, the gematria value of "zōē" (815) meaning "life," meaning he would not die.
