Mk 13:4b ... "and what (will be) the sign when all these (things) will be fulfilled?"

The second phrase has these 9 dialog words ... kai ti to sēmeion hotan mellē tauta sunteleisthai panta ("and what the sign when are about these-things to be complete all?").

The 9 dialog words are bottom up word for word according to Greek grammar. The disciples ask for "a sign" and their words produce it! The two words "to sēmeion" (the sign) is tangent to the bottom half of the sign, the rhombus inside which Jesus is standing. The disciples answer their question as soon as they ask it, but they can't see it.
