Mk 4:39a ... And having-been-woken he-rebuked the wind and he-spoke to-the sea, ... "Be-still, be-silenced."

Verse 39 has 5 phrases containing 16 narrator and 2 dialog words. The 1st, 2nd, and 3rd phrases have these 9 narrator and 2 dialog words ... Kai diegertheis epetimēsen tō anemō kai eipen tē thalassē, Siōpa, Pefimōso(And having-been-woken he-rebuked the wind and he-spoke to-the sea, ... "Be-still, be-silenced.").

The 8th of the 24 miracles (8+8+8) Jesus performed in this gospel are seen in the 18 words and 3 diagrams for this verse. The 9 narrator and 2 dialog words are bottom up from Jesus, through the waves and wind up to and inside the boat to God the Father and the upper border of the sea. The first 9 words "Kai diegertheis epetimēsen tō anemō kai eipen tē thalassē" (And having been woken he rebuked the wind and spoke to the sea) are tangent to the face of Jesus, the center of the wind in the boat, and the waves against the boat. The next 2 dialog words "Siōpa, Pefimōso" ("Be still, be silenced") are tangent to the face of God the Father, the upper border of the sea, and a wave entering the boat endangering the lives of the disciples.
