Mk 4:10 ... And when he-was down-by himself, were-asking him the-ones around him with the twelve, the (meaning-of) parables.

Verse 10 has 3 phrases containing these 15 narrator words, ... Kai hote egeneto kata monas, erōtōn auton, hoi peri auton sun tois dōdeka, tas parabolas [And when he was down by himself, were asking him the ones around him with the twelve, the (meaning of) parables].

The 15 narrator words are top down from the top to the bottom of the graph. The 5 words "Kai hote egeneto kata monas" (And when he was down by himself) are tangent to Jesus. The next 8 words, (were asking him the ones around him with the twelve) are tangent to the 4 Pagans and the 12 Disciples in vesica mode around Jesus. The last 2 words "tas parabolas" (the parables) are tangent to the bottom equilateral triangle. But that triangle belongs "with the twelve." Therefore, the meaning of the parables will not be given to them.
