Mk 12:29 ... Answered the Jesus that ... "First is, Hear O Israel, (the) Lord the God of us, is One Lord."

Verse 29 has 5 phrases and 15 words. The 1st phrase has 4 narrator words, the 2nd through 5th phrases have these 11 dialog words, ... apekrithē ho Iēsous hoti, Prōtē estin, Akoue Israēl, kurios ho theos hēmōn, kurios heis estin [Answered the Jesus that, ... "(The) first is, Hear (O) Israel, (the) Lord the God of us, Lord One is].

The first 4 narrator words are bottom up tangent around Jesus (2nd person of the Trinity), then to God the Father (1st person of the Trinity). The first 8 dialog words are bottom up tangent to the Father, then to 4 Israelites. The first 2 words [(the) first is] are tangent to "the Father," the next 6 [(Hear (O) Israel, (the) Lord the God of us] are tangent to the 4 Israelites. The last 3 words (Lord One is) drop down and are bottom up tangent to "the Father" (1st person of the Trinity). The previous parable identifying God with Abraham, Issac, and Jacob is carried over to this one. Jacob's name was changed to Israel. The trinity of Abraham, Issac, and Jacob stood for the people of Israel. The 3 words of this parable "kurios heis estin" (Lord One is) mean that God is also a Trinity, (Father, Son, and Holy Spirit).
