Mk 7:17b ... the disciples of him were asking him about the parable.

The second phrase has these 7 narrator words, ... epērōtōn auton hoi mathētai autou tēn parabolēn [were asking him the disciples of him (about) the parable].

The 7 narrator words are top down. The first five words are tangent to the top two disciples and Jesus. The last 2 words (ten parabolen) eight triangles of the kingdom open up so we can see the explanation of the parable in the following verses. The voice of each disciple is only tangent to the parable across from him.
