Mk 12:40c ... "these ones will receive a greater judgement."

The 3rd phrase has these these 4 dialog words, ... outoi lēmpsontai perissoteron krima (these ones will receive a greater judgement).

The 4 dialog words are top down from the hands of Jesus to the scribes inside the 4440 (great) circle. A "Judgement" is an abstract noun and by convention is an equilateral triangle. A Judgement is also a decision (a punishment) pronounced by a judge (Jesus) such as the dark triangle at the bottom of the graph representing "death" or "hell." The sign of "praying long" (6 x 1480 circles) in diagram 40b now becomes one circle greater (7 x 1480 circles). The "greater judgement" is the large red circle (4440) enclosing the scribes that will be tangent to the "judgement" promised by the 3rd phrase. This diagram shows the 7x1480 red circles (greater than the 6x1480 circles) tangent to the "dark triangle" (death or hell). The scribes (these ones) have received their "greater judgement" promised by the text, a perfect visual ending to this "teaching parable."
