Mk 10:26b ... And who is able to be saved?

The third phrase has these 4 dialog words the disciples say to each other, ... Kai tis dunatai sothēnai (And who is able to be saved)?

The 4 dialog words are top down. The diagram shows the other eight line up in the shape of a needle. The verb sozo is derived from the abstract noun soteria meaning "salvation," whose sign, like "life," is a white equilateral triangle. The twelve have answered their own question. They can be "saved." But how? In this diagram they are pictured even more roundly! A later gospel employed the word perissos with the same diagram in mind: "I came in order that they [believers] might continuously have life, even that they may continuously have it all-around (perissós)" John 10:10.
