Mk 4:3 ... "Listen, Behold, went-out the-One sowing to sow."

Verse 3 has these 6 dialog words, ... Akouete idou eksēlthen ho speirōn speirai ("Listen, Behold, went-out the-one sowing to-sow").

The 6 words are top down. The verb "eksēlthen" comes from "ek" (out of) and "erxomai" (I come). From the previous diagram, we see Jesus has metaphorically "come out" of the boat that was in the sea to tell this parable to the crowd. From verse 4:14 we learn that "ho logos = 443" (the word) is being sown. This number is virtually one half (49.888%) of the gematria value of Jesus (888) and is represented as a circle with a circumference of 443 units. Each seed being sown is "the word" and many metaphors immediately come out from the imagery of the Greek words. The diagram shows 10 seeds fill the space between Jesus and the 12 disciples.
