Mk 12:33d ... "is more important than all of the burnt-offerings and sacrifices."

The 5th phrase has these 7 dialog words, ... perissoteron estin pantōn tōn holokautōmatōn kai thusiōn ["greater-(than) is all of the burnt-offerings and sacrifices"].

The 7 dialog words are top down. The two words "perissoteron estin" [greater-(than) is] are tangent to the triangle holding Jesus. The 3 words "pantōn tōn holokautōmatōn" (all of the burnt-offerings) are tangent to the triangle holding Jesus and the Ball of Fire. The last two words kai thusiōn (and sacrifices) are tangent to the Scribe and the Sacrificed-offerings inside the Fire-balls. The word "thusia" (sacrifice) is an abstract noun, and by convention its sign is an equilateral triangle tangent to the one under the scribe. The sign of the noun "holokautóma" (wholly burnt offering) is a ball of flames. After hearing Jesus, the scribe concludes that the love of God and Man are more important than temple rituals and offerings. The 7 circles of words look like clouds of white smoke rising up to God.
