Mk 9:37a ... "Whoever anyhow the one of such as these children receives in my name, receives me."

Verse 37 has 5 phrases containing 25 dialog words. The first two phrases have these 13 words ... "Os an hen tōn toiutōn paidiōn deksētai epi tō onomati mou, eme dechetai" ("Whoever anyhow one the of such as these children receives in the name of me, me receives").

The 13 dialog words are bottom up. The diagram shows the disciples as children receiving the words of Jesus into their arms. The children (the youth) is Jesus (888). The bottom two are tangent to the twelve. The top two are tangent to the raised Jesus (8880) circle and their hands are touching the 2 words "eme dechetai" (me receives = receives Jesus). The implied promise of what Jesus is saying is that if you receive Jesus in his name you will be raised (resurrected) with the body of a youth (a man-child), just like Jesus who will be raised at the end of this gospel.
