Mk 10:23a ... And having looked around, the Jesus says to his disciples, ...

Verse 23 has three phrases and 20 words of drawing instructions. The first two phrases have these 8 narrator words, ... Kai periblepsamenos, ho Iēsous legei tois mathētais autou (And having looked around, the Jesus says to the disciples of him, ...).

The 8 narrator words are top down. Jesus enters into "and looks around or about" (kai periblepsamenos) from the inside of the Kingdom of God. The 2 words ho Iēsous (the Jesus) are tangent to Jesus. The 4 words legei tois mathētais autou (says to the disciples of him) are tangent to Jesus and his 12 disciples. The rich youth isn't mentioned so he doesn't have to appear. But if he did, if he just sat down, he would fit inside the empty green triangle.
