The second phrase has these 8 dialog words ... all hos an thelē megas genesthai en humin (But who ever wishes great to become among you, ...). The 8 words are top down. The first four words "all hos an thelē" (But who ever wishes) are tangent to the two white triangles supported by the 3 wish circles coming from John and James. The last 4 words "megas genesthai en humin" (great to become among you) are tangent to the two white triangles supported by John, James, and the other ten disciples. The plural pronoun "humin" (you) refers to "John and James" but also to the other ten disciples. Wishing "to become great" is depicted as exercising the sign of authority (one or more white triangles) over any other person. 10:43a < Verses > 10:43c |
