Mk 3:10b ... so-as to-fall-upon him that he might-touch as-many-as had scourges.

The 2nd phrase has these 9 narrator words, ... ōste epipiptein autō hina autou apsōntai hosoi eichon mastigas (so-as to-fall-upon him that he might-touch as-many-as had scourges).

The 9 narrator words are bottom up. The first 3 words "ōste epipiptein autō" (so-as to-fall-upon him) are tangent to the body of Jesus and look "as if these 3 words fell upon him." The last 6 words "hina autou apsōntai hosoi eichon mastigas" (that he might touch as many as had scourges) are tangent to two Unclean Spirits, and visually tangent to the boat holding Jesus and two scourges tangent to 2 of the 3 of the Unclean Spirits, only the ones that have scourges! Every word appears next to the image it names or describes. The hands of Jesus are reaching up to touch only the two Unclean Spirits with scourges that have fallen on his head. Jesus, the outlines of the words, and the images are acting with and on each other as described in the imagery of the words. All Jesus had to do to cure the 3 men was to reach up to touch and kill the Unclean Spirits holding them.
