Mk 9:12c ... "that many things he must suffer and be set out at nothing?"

The fourth phrase has these 5 dialog words, ... "hina polla pathē kai eksoudenethe" ("that many things he must suffer and be set out at nothing").

The 5 words are top down. The words "hina polla pathē," (that many things he must suffer) is tangent to more than one sign of "Suffering." Since Suffering is an abstract noun, by convention its sign is an equilateral triangle. The verb "exoudenoo" comes from "ek" (out from, out of) and "oudeis" (nothing). The diagram shows Simon moving three steps away from the bottom of the graph, representing the three times he denied knowing him. The diagram shows John and James have abandoned Jesus, and Simon denied knowing him three times before he died and was taken down from the cross. The two signs of "pathos" (Suffering) are tangent to a dead body, one could be John the Baptist and the other one could be Jesus.
