Mk 1:11a ... And there-was a-voice out of-the heavens, ...

Verse 11 has 4 phrases containing 6 narrator and 10 dialog words said by God the Father and his Holy Spirit to Jesus his Son. The 1st phrase has these 6 narrator words ... kai fōnē egeneto ek tōn ouranōn (And a voice there was out of the heavens, ...).

The 6 narrator words are top down. Here is that plural noun again "tōn ouranōn" used as a template to keep showing "the heavens" that were split. The diagram shows the Holy Spirit inside God the Father and Jesus because a Triune God can be in two or more places at the same time. Only six gospel text words, no more, can fit between the split heavens, God the Father, his Son, and the Holy Spirit. Here comes "the voice" that will change everything!
