Mk 7:31b ... he-came through Sidon, ... into the Sea of-the Galilee, ...

The 2nd and 3rd phrases have these 8 narrator words, ... ēlthen dia Sidōnos eis, ... tēn thalassan tēs Galilaias, ... (he-came through Sidon, ... into the Sea of-the Galilee, ...).

The 8 narrator words are top down. The text states the city of Sidon on the shore of the Mediterranean Sea as the starting point and the Sea of Galilee as the ending point of where Jesus has traveled. After Jesus passed through Sidon, all the territory between such as walking east through the Bekka valley, then south down into the northern shore of the Sea of Galilee is not mentioned. That is why the gospel text shows an ellipsis after Sidon. The word "Sidon" lies at the center of the hexagon, the sign of the city of Sidon. The next phrase, starting with the preposition "into" is a nice example of Gematria humor. The diagram shows the five word phrase "eis tēn thalassan tēs Galilaias" (into the Sea of-the Galilee) is tangent to the head of Jesus who is purposely drawn "eis" (into) the Sea of Galilee.
