Mk 9:22a ... "And often it also cast him into a fire, ..."

Verse 22 has four phrases and 22 dialog words. The first phrase has these 7 words ... kai pollakis kai eis pur auton ebalen ("And often also into a fire him it cast, ...").

The 7 words are top down in this specific word order so that they become tangent to the images they name. The 3 words "kai eis pur" (also into a fire) are tangent to "the flames," one for each "time" the son was put "into fire" coming from the tips of the "Unclean Spirit" (death). The words may hint at cremation of the dead. The 2 words "pollakis kai" (times, also) is a synonym for "posos chronos" (how much time) in the previous verse. The 5 words "kai eis pur auton ebalen" (also into a fire him it cast) are tangent to the "Son" (him) "a fire it cast into" (into a Fire and into the Unclean Spirit).
