The third phrase has these 5 narrator words ... proskalesamenos tous mathētas legei autois (having called before him the disciples he says to them, ...). The 5 narrator words are clockwise from the top right ending tangent to the lips of Jesus. The words tous mathētas (the disciples) are tangent to the square holding the twelve disciples. The previous diagram showed the disciples had seven small fish and loaves, the crowd had nothing. This story is a geometry problem on how to create a set of gematria diagrams to feed fish and loaves to a crowd of "four thousand" men. After Jesus calls the twelve disciples, they appear inside a square that has the same area as the rectangle holding the crowd. Let's see what Jesus has to say. 8:1b < Verse > 8:2a |
