Mk 1:9b ... Jesus came from Nazareth of-the Galilee, ...

The 2nd phrase has these 6 narrator words, ... ēlthen Iēsous apo Nazaret tēs Galilaias (came Jesus from Nazareth of the Galilee ...).

The 6 words are bottom up. "The word Nazareth can be seen as the Greek transliteration of the Hebrew netzer meaning a shoot, sprout, or watch tower. Or as the Greek transliteration of the Hebrew notserah, meaning 'the guarded one.' Geographically, Nazareth was the highest city in Galilee, located just west of where the River Jordan emerges from the Sea of Galilee to flow due south down to the Dead Sea" (Bible Hub). The diagram shows Nazaret as the highest village in Galilee, the same sign as the Holy Spirit. The words that "made it happen in those days" now come together in the next few diagrams.
