Mk 11:29a ... And the Jesus said to them, ... "I will ask you one question, and you answer me, ..."

Verse 29 has four phrases and 20 words. The first three phrases have these 5 narrator and 7 dialog words, ... Ho de Iēsous eipen autois, Eperōtēsō humas hena logon, kai apokrithēte moi (And ~ the Jesus said to them, ... "I will ask you one word (question), and you answer me, ...").

The first phrase of 5 narrator words is top down, the 7 dialog words are bottom up. The entire first phrase of 5 words are tangent to the faces of God the Father, Jesus, and the Holy Spirit. The second and third phrases of 7 words are tangent to the six Temple officials and Jesus. The next phrase will be very important because Jesus is standing on the authority he possesses. This authority was invisible to the six Temple officials but not to the readers who see this diagram.
