Mk 10:21a ... The yet Jesus looking in to him loved him and said to him, ... "One thing you lack, ..."

Verse 21 has seven phrases and 33 words. The first two phrases have these 10 narrator and 3 dialog words, ... Ho de Iēsous eublepsas autō ēgapēsen auton, kai eipen autō, ... "Hen se husterei" (The yet Jesus looking in to him loved him and said to him, ... "One thing you lack, ..." ).

The 10 narrator and 3 dialog words are top down. Using the previous diagram as a template shows the same empty triangle, the same "one thing" the youth lacks. Jesus seems to "love" the youth's answer about guarding the "five precepts" from verse 19. That would make the youth sinless, just like Jesus. The sign for a "thing" and a "precept" are identical.
