Mk 14:14b ... " 'Where is my guestroom where I may eat the passover with my disciples?' "

The third phrase has these 13 dialog words ... Pou estin to kataluma mou hopou to pasxa meta tōn mathētōn mou fagō (" 'Where is the guest-room of me where the passover with the disciples of me I may eat?' ").

Diagram 1: The 13 words are bottom up. There are 3 Jesus figures here: the Teacher back in Bethany (v3- 12), the House-Ruler (v14), and the man with the water jar (v13). The Teacher and the House-Ruler are both Jesus! The 20 words spoken here by the Teacher (Jesus) are part of his 49 word answer (v13-15) to their question in verse 12b. The 7 words of phrase 2 are bottom up from the head of the man who carried the water vessel into the house tangent to the body of the house-ruler above. The 13 words of phrase 3 are bottom up from the top of the house, to the face of the house-ruler, then down the sides of the house to where the house meets the bottom of the earthenware bowl of sea-water held up by the hands of the water carrier. The bowl of the sea and the vault of the sky fill the top half of the graph. This space is the "Kataluma," a "down loosing place," bibles translate it as a room, a guestchamber where Jesus (the house-ruler) and the Twelve will have their "last supper." We can see that the bottom half of this "room" is the "cup" from which Jesus must drink (death).

Diagram 2: The 13 words are bottom up. The water-carrier told the 2 disciples who followed him into the house what to say to the house-ruler (Jesus, the Teacher). The 13 words are bottom up from the two disciples to the house-ruler standing on top of the house at the same level as the water in the earthen vessel in the background. One of the signs of the "passover," the last meal he will share with his disciples, is the same sign as "life." Jesus will not only be serving unleavened bread tonight, he will be "passing over" the last day of his life. At three o'clock tomorrow he will be dead.
