Mk 6:40 ... And they-fell-up, onion-beds onion-beds, down-by hundreds and down-by fifties.

Verse 40 has 3 phrases containing these 9 narrator words, ... Kai anepesan, prosiai prosiai, kata hekaton kai kata pentēkonta (And they-fell-up, onion-beds onion-beds, down-by 100's and down-by 50's).

Diagram 1: The 2 words "Kai anepesan" (And they-fell-up) are tangent to the 3rd inscribed square. The word "anepesan," from "ana" (up) and the "pipto" (to-fall) appears twice in Mark, here and Mk 8:6, the 4000 feeding miracle. The words "Kai anepesan" (And they-fell-up) is a drawing instruction for the 3 squares from the center to "fall up" to create the 4th green square tangent to the sides of the graph. Jesus stands on the intersection of the 2nd and 3rd square, his head is tangent to the corner of the 4th square which is an "onion-bed" in diagram 2.

Diagram 2: The 9 words are top down. The mobile green square of diagram 1 "falls up" again by rotating 45 degrees coming to rest as six 100x50 unit "onion-bed" rectangles each having the same area as the orange square. The plural noun "prasiai" (onion-beds) comes from "prasia" (a leek or onion). The text links "sumposia sumposia" (symposiums) with "prasiai prasiai" (onion-beds), the faces of 12 men with their 5000 number. The 7 words "prosiai prosiai kata hekaton kai kata pentēkonta" (onion-beds onion-beds, down-by hundreds and down-by 50's) is a drawing instruction to change the orange square into a 100x50 "onion-bed" rectangle. The 5 words are visually tangent to it's 100 unit top side! The 2 words "And they-fell-up" are exactly tangent to the space between the "orange onion bed" and the feet of Jesus. The last 2 words "kata pentēkonta" (down-by fifties) are exactly tangent to the space between the bottom of the 'orange onion-bed' and the circle on which Jesus stands. The word "pentēkonta" (fifties) intersects two 'green onion-beds' on their 50 unit short sides.
