Mk 2:18d ... But the disciples of you (do) not fast?

The fourth phrase has these 6 dialog words, ... hoi de soi mathētai ou nēsteuousin [The but of you disciples not (do) fast]?

The 4 words spoken by the pharisees and the disciples of John (the Baptist) are drawn in the same place on this diagram. The word "nēsteuousin" (fast), of course, is still automatically tangent to the basket of bread at the bottom of the diagram. That leaves the word "soi" (of you) that must be placed directly under Jesus. The text says "the disciples do not fast" which means they must eat bread. Amazingly, when a basket of bread is placed horizontally in the center of the diagram and the four disciples tangent to the 6 dialog words, the mouths of the disciples are visually tangent to 7 loaves of bread in the center of the basket! The diagram matches the imagery of the text!
