Mk 1:9a ... And it-happened in those the days ...

Verse 9 has three phrases containing 19 narrator words. The 1st phrase has these 6 words ... kai egeneto en ekainais tais hēmerais (And it happened in those the days ...).

The 6 large narrator words are top down. The 19 small narrator words, size 888, are bottom up. This phrase is a statement that brings up the question, what happened in what days? The next two phrases gives the answer: Jesus, Nazareth, Galilee, baptism, Jordan, and John. The sign of a "day" can either be a Christ (1480) or a Jesus (888) circle. As you can see, the sign of the Galilee can occur in six large days (1480) or a geometric pattern of nineteen smaller days (888) where they are both tangent to each other.
