Mk 3:34a ... And having looked around at the ones around him sitting in a circle he says, ...

Verse 34 has three phrases containing 8 narrator and 8 dialog words. The first phrase has these 8 narrator words ... Kai periblepsamenos tous peri auton kuklōi kathēmenous legei (And having looked around at the ones around him in a circle sitting down he says, ...).

The 8 words are bottom up. The diagram shows two circles, 4440 and 8880 in circumference. Jesus is inside the 4440 circle looking around at the four men sitting inside the 8880 circle. The first phrase was purposely worded to be true as long as you saw both circles. The 5 words "tous peri auton kuklōi kathēmenous" (the ones around him in a circle sitting down) are tangent to the two triangles on which Jesus is sitting looking around at the men and women sitting down inside their triangles. The word "legei" (he says) is tangent to Jesus sitting inside the Holy Spirit getting ready to speak.
