Mk 12:6a ... "Still one he had, a beloved Son, ..."

Verse 6 has 5 phrases and 15 dialog words. The first 2 phrases have these 5 words ... eti hena eixen, uion agapēton ("Still one he had, a son beloved, ...").

The 5 words are top down. The first 3 words are tangent to the speaker posing as 'the Father.' The last 2 words, "a beloved son," are tangent to the triangle holding the Father's son. The man who built the vineyard from verse one represents God the Father. His only beloved son must be Jesus. The farmers are taking the place of the Temple Authorities and Romans who will later work together to crucify Jesus in Mark 15.
