Mk 1:19a ... And having-gone-on a-little, he-saw James, the-(son) of Zebedee, and John, the brother of-him.

Verse 19 has 6 phrases containing 21 narrator words. The first 5 phrases contain these 13 words ... Kai probas oligon, eiden Iakōbon, ton tou Zebediaou, kai Iōannēn, ton adelfon autou (And having gone on a little, he saw James, the (son) of Zebedee, and John, the brother of him, ...).

The 13 words are clockwise starting tangent to the bottom of the boat. The 13 words have a radar pattern of 3,2,3,2,3 words in the five phrases. The above diagram seems to be the best solution. The two Greek words "eiden Iakōbon" (he saw James) are tangent to the image of James; the three words "ton tou Zebediaou" [the (son) of Zebedee] are tangent to the triangle holding their father; and the two words "kai Iōannēn" (and John) are tangent to the image of John.
