Mk 1:1a ... A-beginning of-the good-news of-Jesus Christ, ...

Verse 1 has two phrases and 7 narrator words. The first verse has these 5 words ... Arxē (709) tou (770) euaggeliou (927) Iēsou (688) Xristou (1680) = 4774 (A beginning of the good-news of Jesus Christ, ...).

Diagram 1: The 5 narrator words are top down. This book is a Gematria Passion Play and the first phrase is it's title. The abstract noun "Arxē" (a beginning) is tangent to the white equilateral triangle, the sign of the Holy Spirit holding God the Father and Jesus. The 3 words "tou euaggeliou Iēsou" (of the good-news of Jesus) is tangent to the 24 (8+8+8) words that fill the central hexagon which is also the number of miracle parables Jesus will perform in this "Gospel" that bears his name. The name "Xristou" (1480) is tangent to the face size "of Christ." The gospel uses this face as a template changing its colors for the many different men in each gospel story. The "Kingdom of God" is the raised Jesus (8880) graph. Using just a compass and a straight edge ruler, anything mentioned in this or any other verse can be constructed as a reusable "sign."

Diagram 2: The number value of these 5 Greek words is 4,774 units. The name "Iēsou Xristou" (Jesus Christ), in the nominative or genitive case, has a gematria value of 2368 units. The diagram shows a square holding the face of Jesus Christ having a circumference of 2,368 units. The eight red lines form the outline of the letters I and X, the first letters of "Iēsous Xristos" (Jesus Christ). The length of these 8 red lines is 4774 units, the same number value as 5 Greek words! The 5 words form the sign of Jesus Christ.
