Mk 4:17b ... "Then comes 'tribulation' or 'persecution' because-of 'the word' ..."

The 3rd phrase contains these 8 dialog words, ... eita genomenēs thlipseōs hē diōgmou dia ton logon ("then comes tribulation or persecution because of 'the word,' ...").

The 8 words are counter-clockwise. The 8 words contain three signs: "thlipseōs" (tribulation), "diōgmou" (persecution), and "ton logon" (the word). Pressure and Persecution are negative abstract nouns and by convention their signs are dark equilateral triangles. The noun "ho logos" (the word) has a gematria value of '443 units' and its sign is a circle with that same circumference.
