Mk 6:18b ... "Not is-It-allowed for-you to-have of-you the wife of-the brother."

The 2nd phrase has these 9 dialog words, ... Ouk eksestin soi exein tēn gunaika tou adelfou sou ("Not is-it-allowed for-you to-have of-you the wife of-the brother").

The first 5 words are bottom up from John to Herod, then 2 words from the center to the wife, then the last 2 words from the center to the brother. The word "sou" (of you) is tangent to Herod the king, the word "gunaika" (wife) is tangent to Herodias, the word "adelfou" (brother) is tangent to Philip. This diagram shows how the words of the Jewish Law seperate the wife of his brother from Herod.
