Mk 5:39b ... "The little-child has not died but sleeps."

For the 3rd phrase, Jesus says these 6 dialog words ... To paidion ouk apethanen alla katheudei ("The little-child not has died but sleeps").

The 6 dialog words are top down. Jesus contradicts the two followers from verse 35 who said the daughter was dead. Jairus heard Jesus say "be healed from your scourge." In this verse, sleep is a euphemism for Death, a severe and permanent malady caused by this Unclean Spirit (of death). The little girl may seem dead to the ones tumulting, but for the ones who believe in Jesus, death is a sleep from which she can rise. The diagram shows the perfect number of six words falls exactly tangent on the head of the "sleeping child" and on her Unclean Spirit. Do these six dialog words fall on these objects by coincidence or by design?
