Mk 12:37a ... "Himself David calls him Lord, and how is He (his) Son?"

Verse 37 has 3 phrases containing 17 words. The 1st and 2nd phrases of 5 words each, have these 10 dialog words, ... Autos Dauid legei auton kurion, kai pothen autou estin huios ["Himself David calls him Lord, and how He is Son (of him)"]?

The 10 dialog words are bottom up. Jesus is still the speaker. The first 3 words "Autos Dauid legei" (Himself David calls) are tangent to the mouth of David. The next 2 words "auton kurion" (him Lord) are tangent to Jesus. In gematria, David (the Father) should be drawn directly above the son, not below. In this diagram, David appears below the Lord (Jesus Christ). Nowhere in the diagrams of this parable does Jesus Christ appear as the Son, under David. The second phrase of 5 words (and how is He (his) Son?) are tangent to God and Jesus. The Lord Jesus Christ appears directly under God. Jesus appears to be the Son of God, not the Son of David.
