Mk 8:33f ... "but the things of men."

The sixth phrase ends this parable when Jesus says these 4 dialog words ... alla ta tōn anthrōpōn ("but the things of men").

The 4 dialog words are top down. The 4 words in effect say "but instead, you are thinking the things of men." The 4 words are tangent to the three men inside the dark trapezoid. We can see how the underlying diagrams contrast Satan, Men and Death as opposites of God the Father, the Holy Spirit, Jesus, and Life. The moral of this parable (teaching) was that Jesus came down to earth to suffer and die so that men have Eternal Life. And all men had to do was believe in the name of Jesus 8880 to receive Everlasting Life.
