Mk 14:16a ... And went out the disciples, and they came into the city, ...

Verse 16 has 4 phrases containing 18 narrator words. The 1st and 2nd phrases have these 9 words ... Kai eksēlthon hoi mathētai, kai ēlthon eis tēn polin (And went out the disciples, and they came into the city, ...).

Jesus instructed Simon and John what to do and say in diagrams 13a through 15b. If this gospel is based on gematria, verse 16 should contain 3 diagrams. Diagram 16a should match diagram 13a, the 1st instruction from Jesus. Diagram 16b should match diagram 15b, the last instruction from Jesus. Diagram 16c should show the last instruction (order) was obeyed.

Diagram 13a: The first 6 narrator words in the present tense are top down from the hands of Jesus to the top of the door of the house. Simon and John then presumably went out the door of the house. The next 3 narrator and 4 dialog words in the present and imperative tense are tangent from the top point down to the bottom of the rhombus (the diamond) are the order from Jesus to Simon and John to "Underlead into the city." The diagram shows where the 2 disciples should be if they obeyed the order and came into the city of Jerusalem.

Diagram 16a: The first 4 narrator words in the past tense confirm Simon and John went out the door of Simon the Leper's house. The next 5 narrator words also in the past tense confirm and show the two disciples came through the top point down to the bottom of the diamond (the gate in the wall), then out of the rhombus into the bottom of the city of Jerusalem. Diagram 16a shows Simon and John obeyed the instruction order Jesus gave them in diagram 13a!
