Mk 6:31b ... "and rest-up a-little."

The 3rd phrase has these 3 dialog words ... kai anapausasthe oligon ("and rest-up a-little").

The 3 dialog words are top down. In the 8 words of the second phrase Jesus ordered his disciples to come down privately into the "wilderness place." The previous phrase showed the disciples doing just that. Three of the Twelve even "privately entered" the Wilderness rectangle. All Twelve have now entered the "Wilderness" which is also a "Place." Jesus now tells them to "anapausasthe oligon" (rest up a little). The preposition "ana" denotes "upward, reversal, repetition, towards a goal." The Twelve have now done everything Jesus told them to do and should now rest awhile inside the wilderness rectangle.
