Mk 4:12a ... "In-order-that seeing they-may-see, ..."

Verse 12 has 5 phrases and 17 words. The 1st phrase has these 3 dialog words ... hina blepontes blepōsin ("In-order-that seeing they-may-see, ...").

The 3 dialog words are top down tangent to the body of Jesus and the triangle holding him which is tangent to the 6 circles of sight, all four men, and the rhombus tangent to all four. The text uses the Greek verb blepo which means to see with the eyes. The diagram shows all four men can see the rhombus holding two of them.
