Mk 11:6b ... and they-permitted them.

The 2nd phrase has these 3 narrator words, ... kai afēkan autous (and they-permitted them).

The 3 narrator words are top down. The two words afēkan autous (they-permitted them) are tangent to the two men who gave their permission and the two disciples who will bring the loosed Colt to Jesus. With only 3 words in this phrase, the way is clear to ascend.
