Mk 10:37 ... They yet said to him, ... "Grant to us that one out of your right, and one out left, we may sit in the glory of you."

Verse 37 has 4 phrases containing these 4 narrator  and 16 dialog words ... "Hoi de eipan autō, Dos hēmin hina eis sou ek deksiōn, kai eis eks aristerōn, kathisōmen en tē doksē sou" (And they said to him, ... "Grant to us that one of you out of right, and one out of left, we may sit in the glory of you").

The 20 words are bottom up. The first 3 narrator words in the first phrase "Hoi de eipan" (They yet said) are tangent to John and James. The fourth word "autō" (to him) is tangent to "eks sou" (out of you) tangent to Jesus. As soon as they say it, James is sitting "eks deksiōn" (out of right) and John "eks aristerōn" (out of left) of the three glories of Jesus.
