Mk 6:39 ... And he-ordered them to-recline-up, everyone in symposiums, symposiums upon the green grass.

Verse 39 has these 11 narrator words ... Kai epetaksen autois anaklinai, pantas sumposia, sumposia epi tō chlorō chortō (And he-ordered them to-recline-up, everyone symposiums, symposiums on the green grass).

Diagram 1: The Greek words "Kai epetaksen" (and he-commanded) are tangent to the hands of Jesus. The words "autois anaklinai" (them to-up-recline) are tangent to the reclining orange square representing 5000, the number of men. The last 7 words "pantas sumposia sumposia epi tō chlorō chortō" are tangent to the faces of the 24 men who represent a personification of the 5000 men. In addition, the last 2 words "chlorō chortō" (green grass) are visually tangent to the blades of grass.

Diagram 2: Jesus (not shown) could be drawn tangent to the inside of the orange square because the text did say "pantas" (everyone). The Greek words "sumposia" (symposiums) means "a party with drink, food, discussion, and entertainment." The gnostic entertainment is the secret knowledge that geometry objects will represent Jesus, loaves, fish, the crowd, the 12 disciples, their 12 counterparts who represent a personification of the 5000 men who "recline" on the green square where the grass grows.

The term "green grass" comes from the Old Testament passage ... "All mankind is grass, and all their glory like the flower of the field. The grass withers and the flower wilts when the breath of the Lord blows upon it. So then, the people are the grass." Isaiah 40:6-7. The signs the "chortos" (grass), mankind, and their 5000 number comes when the dual scale of the graph fits over a circle with a circumference of 888 and 8880 units.
