Mk 1:40b ... and knee falling, and saying to him that, ... "If you are willing, (then) you are able to cleanse me."

The third through sixth phrases contain 6 narrator and 5 dialog words ... Kai gonupetōn, kai legōn autō hoti, ... Ean thelēs, dunasai me katharisai (And kneeling down, and saying to him that, ... "If you are willing, you are able me to cleanse").

This is a hypothetical if-then statement. The 6 narrator words are bottom up, the 5 dialog words are counter-clockwise starting bottom right. The two words "Kai gonupetōn" (knee-falling or kneeling down), from gonu (a knee) and pipto (to fall down), are tangent to the leper kneeling down before Jesus. The diagram shows a rare view of all twelve vesicas of a man's four limbs. The two words "thelēs, dunasai" (you are willing, you are able) are centered on the bottom corners of the "Holy Spirit," the white equilateral triangle holding Jesus. The 3 words "Ean me katharisai" (If me to cleanse) are tangent to the pink "begging circle" which has been raised before Jesus.
