Mk 3:23a ... And calling to-them in parables, he-spoke to-them, ...

Verse 23 has 3 phrases and 12 words. The 1st and 2nd phrases have these 7 narrator words ... Kai proskalesamenos autous en parabolais, elegen autois (And calling to-them in parables, he-spoke to-them, ...).

The 7 narrator words are top down. The words "en parabolais" (in parables) are tangent to an equilateral triangle, the sign of a parable. The words "elegen autois" (he spoke to them) are exactly tangent to "the scribes" who are also inside "parables." The imagery of the text agrees with the diagram.
