Mk 1:5b ... And they-were-baptised by him in to-the Jordan river confessing the sins of-them.

The 4th and 5th phrases have these 12 narrator words ... Kai ebaptizonto hup autou en tō Iordanē potamō eksomoloumenoi tas hamartias autōn (And they were baptised by him in the Jordan river confessing the sins of them).

The 4th phrase of 8 words is clockwise starting top left in Judea and ending tangent to the top of the Jordan River. The fifth phrase of 4 words is top down starting tangent to the midst of the crowd and ending tangent to the Dead Sea. The diagram shows the four Jerusalemites immersed in the Jordan river and their sins washed away in to the Dead Sea below. All "sins" originate in the mind of the sinner before he commits the sin. Baptism is "christening" people with water. That is why the river and all liquids are represented by christ (1480) circles. All ordinary adults in this entire gospel, no matter what region they are from, are made from Christ circles.
