Mk 9:40b ... "(he) is above us."

The second phrase has these 3 dialog words, ... huper hemōn estin ["above us (he) is]"

The 3 dialog words are bottom up. The word "huper" means "above, over, for." This diagram shows the mysterious rival exorcist "over" Jesus and the twelve. Since he is with Jesus, he must also be with (for) the twelve.
