Mk 10:21b ... "Under-lead, as much as you have sell (it), ..."

The third and fourth phrases have these 4 dialog words, ... "Hupage, hosa echeis pōlēson" ("Under-lead, as much as you have sell, ...").

The 4 dialog words are top down. The rest of the verse is hypothetical, showing what the youth should do if he follows Jesus advice. The word under-lead (hupage), from hupo (under) and ago (lead), is the advice to lead the youth on the path to possibly earthly poverty until he dies. The suggestion "to sell as much as you have" means "to sell all that you own!" The one thing the rich youth lacks is poverty, signified by the empty triangle above his hands.
