Mk 14:2a ... For they were saying, ... "Not at the feast, ..."

Verse 2 has 3 phrases and 11 words. The 1st and 2nd phrases have these 2 narrator and 4 dialog words ... Elegon gar, Mē en tē eortē (They were saying for, ... "Not at the feast, ...").

The 6 words are top down. The word "Elegon" (They were saying) is where the people should be. The 4 words "Mē en tē eortē" (Not at the feast) is tangent to the priests and scribes. The 2 words "tē eortē" (the feast) is tangent to the large rectangle holding the basket of bread, the location of the feast. The diagram shows where the people should be is seperated from the feast which contradicts the text "Not at the feast." Therefore the statement saying that they would not seize him at the feast is true. Therefore that means Jesus will be seized (arrested) during the feast but not in the place where the feast was held.
