Mk 12:2a ... "And he sent before the farmers in the season a slave, ..."

Verse 2 has three phrases and 18 dialog words. The 1st phrase has these 8 dialog words ... Kai apesteilen pros tous geōrgous tōi kairōi doulon ("And he sent before the farmers into the harvest a slave, ...").

The 8 dialog words are top down. The translated Greek word "doulon" is tangent to the "slave." This slave is like a prophet of God who reminds the people of the Law, the Holy Word of God (Isaiah 5:24).
