Mk 7:22 ... "murders, adulteries, greediness, wickedness, deceit, folly, wicked eye, blasphemy, pride, imprudence."

Verse 22 has nine phrases containing these 10 dialog words .. moixeiai, pleoneksiai, poneriai, dolos, aselgeia, ofthalmos, poneros, blasfemia, huperefania, afrosune ("adulteries, greed, wickedness, deceit, lewdness, an evil eye, blasphemy, pride, foolishness").

OK, verse 21 contained four wicked thoughts. Let's analyze this verse. The Greek text starts out with four plural followed by six singular nouns. The minimum number of items therefore is fourteen. ē ō

Now make three groups of that list. Group 1 Wicked (ponEriai) Thoughts: the four plural nouns equal eight items. Group 2 Thoughts: five singular nouns equal five items. Group 3: the wicked (poneros) eye is not a thought - it is already an image.

As you can see, using the previous figure as a template, this is how the thirteen "wicked thoughts" and one "wicked eye" fit on the diagram so it agrees exactly with the text!!!

Will the next set of diagrams also agree?
