Mk
4:13b ... "And then-how all the parables will-you-know?"

The 3rd phrase has these 6 dialog words, ... kai pōs pasas tas parabolas gnōsesthe ("And then-how all the parables will-you-know?").
The 6 dialog words are top down. The top four white parables are tangent to his six dialog words and the bottom four parables are tangent to the four men. This diagram is an extension of the previous one. To
paraphrase, Jesus is telling the two men that all the "parables"
(stories) in this "gospel" are gnostic gematria riddles. The words "pasas tas parabolas gnōsesthe" (all the parables will you come to know) is tangent to the heads of the two men and the outside set of four parables. The empty circles, the signs of their "not knowing," pass through the future tense of the words "parabolas gnōsesthe" (parables will you come to know?) is tangent to all the parables they will not know now or later. The two men don't have and will not ever have this knowledge, unlike Jesus who does.
