Mk 4:32b ... "steps up and becomes greater (than) all of the greens, ..."

The 2nd phrase has these 7 dialog words, ... anabainei kai ginetai meizon pantōn tōn laxanōn ("steps up and becomes greater all of the greens, ...").

The 7 dialog words are top down. The antecedent of the Greek verb "anabaino" formed from the prepositon "ana" (up) and the verb "baino" (to step, walk) is the previously planted "mustard seed" of the previous verse. The word "meizon" (greater 'than') is code for a 4440 circle to contain the 7 text words. The Greek abstract noun laxanōn (a generic cultivated tuber or green leafy garden plant) is derived from the verb "lachaino" meaning "to dig." It's sign is a green equilateral triangle. The text is calling for a comparison between this mustard plant and a garden plant. The diagram shows the mustard plant is indeed greater (in height) than the two garden "greens" hugging the ground on either side.
