Mk 1:24c ... "I-know you, who you-are, the Holy-One of-the God."

The fifth through seventh phrases have these 8 dialog words, ... Oida se, tis ei, ho agios tou theo ("I know you, who you are, the Holy One of the God").

The 8 words are bottom up. In Biblical criticism, the Messianic Secret is a motif in Mark in which Jesus commands his followers to silence about his mission, that he is the Son of God who has come down to earth to die on the cross as a blood ransom to the Father, who justly demands sins to be punished. Jesus had to be crucified to pay the penalty for the "original sin" of mankind. Jesus promised that whoever believes in him will have eternal life in heaven. The proof that Jesus is God will be his resurrection from the tomb. God the Father sent down the "Holy One" (Spirit) to possess his "Son" in diagram 1:10c. The disciples have been instructed to only reveal his messianic secret after he dies. The diagram shows the Unclean Spirit has just revealed one of these Messianic secrets. Jesus is in the perfect position to protect the secret by cutting the "Unclean Spirit" in two.
