Mk 8:24b ... "I see the men that (they are) as trees I see walking around!"

The second phrase has these 8 dialog words in this exact order ... Blepō tous anthrōpous hoti hōs dendra horō peripatountas (I see the men that as trees I see walking around)!

The 8 dialog words are clockwise starting bottom left. The words may sound a bit jumbled at first. This was done on purpose. The 4 words "blepō, dendra, horō peripatountas" (I see trees I see walking around) are tangent to the face of the former blind man. The faces of the 4 men and Jesus now fill the 5 green equilateral triangles (tree canopies). The space between the tree canopies and the word "peripatountas" (walking around) are each filled with two brown vesicas that become "tree trunks." The former blind man now puts the words together with its appropriate image and of course sees "men as trees walking around"!! The imagery of the gospel text matches the gematria diagram.
