The 3rd phrase has these 9 words, ... oste auton eis ploion eubanta kathesai en te thalasse (so-that he into a-boat stepped-in sitting in the sea, ...). The 9 words circle the boat top down. The 4 words "oste auton eis ploion" (so that he into a-boat) are tangent to Jesus and a boat. The 5 words "eubanta kathesai en te thalasse" (stepped-in sitting in the sea) are tangent to the land, Jesus, a boat, and the sea. The words match the imagery of the diagram. The sudden appearance of this boat was prophesized earlier in Mk 3:9 when Jesus told his disciples that "a little boat' should stand ready for him." 4:1b < Verses > 4:1d |
