Mk 14:8b ... "She prepared beforehand to anoint my body into the burial."

The 2nd phrase has these 8 dialog words, ... proelaben murisai to soma mou eis ton entafiasmon [She prepared ahead (of time) to anoint the body of me into the burial].

Diagram 1 - the body of Jesus is taken down from the Cross: The 8 dialog words are top down. The first 4 words are tangent to the top and bottom of the rhombus holding the woman who anointed Jesus with her long hair soaked with myrrh two days before he was buried. The first 2 words are tangent to the hands of Jesus standing on top of the rhombus. The third and fourth words are tangent to the arms of Jesus standing in the bottom of the rhombus plus visually tangent to the stream of perfumed myrrh that was used beforehand to annoint his body before his burial. The last four words are tangent the hands and arms of Jesus laying on the ground in a burial shroud that took him down from the cross.

Diagram 2 - the body of Jesus is put in a Tomb: The 8 dialog words are bottom up: The first 2 words are tangent to the hands of Jesus standing in the bottom of the rhombus. The last 6 words are tangent to the 2 equilateral triangles (the burial shroud that took him down from the cross and the top half of the rhombus) holding the woman with long hair who anointed Jesus with ointment from the alabaster jar she crushed at the house of Simon the Leper before he was crucified. The woman is tangent to the top triangle, the very place Jesus will be sepulchered in an above-ground, never used, rich man's tomb. The diagram shows the unnamed woman who planned to "christen" the body of Jesus after the Sabbath after she observed from afar the rock cut tomb where he was laid.
