Mk 6:8a ... And he-gave-orders to-them that they-take nothing into a-way, ...

Verse 8 has five phrases containing 21 narrator words. The first phrase has these 8 words, ... Kai parēggeilen autois hina mēden airōsin eis hodon (And he-gave-orders to-them that nothing they-should-take into "a-way," ...).

The 8 narrator words are top down from the body and hands of Jesus to the bottom of the way. The 2 words "hē hodon" (the way) have a gematria value of 352 units. Eight intersecting circles with that diameter fill the space from the top to the bottom of the hexagon so it looks like a paved Roman road connecting Jesus with his disciples. The 8 words were composed to fill the road so that the disciples could take nothing into it. The imagery of the text matches the images on the diagram.
