Mk 10:15a ... "Amen I say to you, whoever does not receive the Kingdom of God like a little child, ..."

Verse 15 has three phrases and 18 dialog words. The first two phrases have these 13 dialog words, ... Amēn legō humin, hos an mē deksētai tēn basileian tou theou hōs paidion ("Amen I say to you, Whoever not does receive the Kingdom of God like a little child, ...").

The 13 dialog words are top down. The word "Amēn = 98.666" (Amen) refers to the many small "amen" circles in the rhombus holding the image of God. Jesus typically uses the word "amen" to gather the twelve disciples when he wants to show them something important. The word an (--) is a participle with no English translation. The 4 words "tēn basileian tou theou" (the Kingdom of God) overlap and are tangent to the Kingdom holding the dove-like sign of God the Father. The 2 words "hōs paidion" (like a little child) are tangent to the amen filled triangle holding the little girl who is standing in the entrance to the Kingdom of God.
