Mk 9:5b ... "Rabbi, 'ideal' it is us here to be! ..."

The third and fourth phrases have these 6 dialog words, ... Rabbi, kalon estin hēmas hōde einai ("Rabbi, ideal it is us here to be")!

The 6 dialog words are bottom up the center and top down the sides. These six words contain two signs, Rabbi and Ideal. The word "Rabbi" is the "Star of David." The word "Rabbi" is tangent to the sign of David and the transfigured Jesus. By convention, the sign of the adjectival noun "kalon" (ideal) intensifies the sign of an abstract noun from an equilateral triangle to a rhombus. The diagram shows that Simon, John, and James all fit inside this "ideal" sign, the white rhombus. The 2 words "estin hēmas" (it is us) are tangent to the rhombus holding the three disciples. The last 2 words "hōde einai" (to be here) are tangent to the 3 triangles holding Elias, Moses, and the 'Rabbi.' The six words of Simon the Stone terminate tangent to Jesus, Moses, and Elias. The diagram shows this "ideal" sign contains "two tents."
