Mk 4:7b ... "and up-stepped the thorn-bushes, and together-choked it, ..."

The 2nd and 3rd phrases have these 7 dialog words ... kai anebēsan ai akanthai, kai sunepnigan auto ("and up-stepped the thorn-bushes, and together-choked it, ...").

The 7 dialog words are top-down tangent to the body and hands of Jesus to the three thorn-bushes. The 4 words "anebēsan ai akanthai kai " (up-stepped the thorn-bushes and) are visually tangent to the 3 thorn plants growing up to the center of the diagram. The 2 words "sunepnigan auto" (together-choked it) are tangent to the triangle holding the top of the bushes and exactly tangent to the two equilateral triangles that are tangent to the seed shells that the bushes are choking in the center of the diagram. The diagram matches the imagery of the verse!
