Mk 10:38b ... "Are you able to drink the cup which I drink?"

The second sentence has these 7 dialog words, ... dunasthe piein to potērion ho egō pinō ("Are you able to drink the cup which I am drinking")?

The 7 words are outside in. The 4 words "dunasthe piein to potērion" (Are you able to drink the cup) are tangent to the face and hands of Jesus. The 5 words "to potērion ho egō pinō" (the cup which I am drinking) are tangent to the reflection of death Jesus sees in this poison filled cup.
