Mk 6:3a ... "Is not this-one the stone-cutter, the son of-the Mary, ...?"

Verse 3 has 5 phrases and 31 words. The 1st and 2nd phrases contain these 9 dialog words in this order, ... Ouch autos estin ho tektōn ho uios tēs Marias ("Not this-one is the stone-cutter, the son of the Mary, ...")?

The 9 dialog words are bottom up. The bottom two men say the first 5 dialog words "Ouch autos estin ho tektōn" (Not this-one is the Stone-cutter). These 5 words are tangent to the two equilateral triangles in the hexagon, the top one holding Jesus. The top two men say these 4 dialog words "ho uios tēs Marias" ("the Son of the Mary"). These 4 words are tangent to two equilateral triangles, the bottom one holding Jesus, the top one holding Mary. This gospel uses, points to, and mentions the word "stone" in so many ironic ways that it would be unlikely for the author not to apply it to Jesus as well. Examples: Simon's nickname or title, the temple, his tomb, skill with his hands. The men say the words and Jesus will show how he can use his 'hands' and 'words' to make 'things,' which have the same sign as 'stones.'
