Mk 4:8c ... "one thirty, "

The 3rd phrase has these 2 dialog words, ... hen triakonta ("one thirty, ...").

The triangle and Jesus holding the 2 words are tangent to the stack of 30 seeds (circumference = 433) from above and the triangle holding the fruit (diameter = 471) is tangent to the stack of 30 seeds from below. This means that the first Fruit at the bottom of the "ideal earth" is now bearing 30 seeds, a stack 6 columns wide by 5 rows high, tangent to the ceiling of the hexagon and the base of the triangle holding the Fruit (singular). Many gospel commentaries think the text refers to the never mentioned plant bearing thirty fruits. Wrong! In this gematria story it is the "fruit" that is bearing seeds not a plant bearing fruit. The seed is a metaphore for "the word" (ho logos = 443). This diagram probably gave the author of Matthew the idea of paying Judas 30 pieces of silver to deliver Jesus to the priests (Mt 26:15).
