Mk 4:22b ... "nor has it become a secret, but that it may come into the open."

The 3rd and 4th phrases contain these 8 dialog words ... oude egeneto apokrufon, all hina elthē eis faneron ("nor has it become a secret, but that it may come into the open").

The 8 words are clockwise, starting from the outside top right. In this diagram, Jesus shows his disciples the "exception" he promised. The "lamp" becomes "a man" because their silhouettes are identical. The first three words "oude egeneto apokrufon" (nor has it become a secret) are tangent to the first right triangle that supports the man. The first three words of the fourth phrase "all hina elthē" (but that it may come) is tangent to the other right triangle supporting the man tangent to his ears. The last two words "eis faneron" (into the open) are tangent to the body of Jesus who is in the open, just like the man below him standing on top of a lampstand.
