Mk 1:23 ... And immediately there-was in the synagogue of-them a-man in an-Unclean Spirit and he-cried-out saying, ...

Verse 23 has these 14 narrator words ... Kai euthus ēn en tē sunagōgē autōn anthrōpos en pneumati akathartō kai anekraksen legōn (And 'immediately' there was in the synagogue of them 'a man in a Spirit Unclean' and he cried out saying, ...).

The 14 narrator words are top down. The word "euthus" (immediately) is the cue to use the previous diagram as a template. The 4 words "en te sunagoge auton" (in the synagogue of them) are tangent to the synagogue and the four men in it. The 4 words "anthrōpos en pneumati akathartō" (a man in a Spirit Unclean) are tangent to the man inside the bottom Unclean Spirit. These gematria diagrams solve a problem biblical scholars have been pondering for a long time. The two dark triangles that were the "teaching of the scribes" in the previous verse have now become "two Unclean Spirits" in this verse. And only one of these holds 'a man' inside of it. These two know all about Jesus. The top one knows he is a Nazarene, and they both know he is the "Son of God." This diagram shows the last word "legon" (saying) belongs in verse 23. Most bibles place it in verse 24.
