Mk 3:22a ... And the scribes, the-ones from Jerusalem coming-down, were-saying that, ... "Beelzebul He-has, ..."

Verse 22 has 6 phrases and 21 words. The first 4 phrases have these 9 narrator and 2 dialog words ... Kai hoi grammateis, hoi apo Ierosolumōn katabantes, elegon hoti, ... "Beelzeboul echei," (And the scribes, the-ones from Jerusalem coming-down, were-saying that, ... "Beelzebul He-has, ..." ).

The 9 narrator and 2 dialog words are top down. The 3 words "Kai hoi grammateis" (And the scribes) are tangent to "four scribes" coming down in the void of the hexagon (the sign of Jerusalem) is confirmed by these 4 words "hoi apo Ierosolumōn katabantes" (the ones coming down from Jerusalem) which is tangent to the four scribes! The last 4 words "elegon hoti, Beelzeboul echei" (they were saying that, "He has Beelzebul") are tangent to the scribes and the corners of two Unclean Spirits enclosing Beelzebul and Jesus. The Hebrew word baal-zebul means "Lord of Filth" and "Lord of the Flies." The dark triangle is a metaphor for a "pile of dung" and an "Unclean Spirit." Beelzebub is then a "huge red fly sitting on a pile of dung." This name calling is very blasphemous, the Scribes are equating God the Father to a "huge red fly" and the Holy Spirit to a "pile of dung" which is an "eternal sin."
