Mk 14:20a ... The yet he said to them, ... "One of the twelve, ..."

Verse 20 has three phrases of 14 words. The 1st and 2nd phrases have these 4 narrator and 3 dialog words ... Ho de eipen autois, Heis tōn dōdeka (The yet he said to them, ... "One of the twelve, ...").

The first phrase of 4 words is top down, the second phrase of 3 words is bottom up. The last 3 words "Heis tōn dōdeka" (One of the twelve) are tangent to the rhombus holding a generic disciple and Judas. The other triangles are tangent to the other eleven disciples. The next diagram will decide which "one of the twelve" the author had in mind. The moment Jesus says "one of the twelve," Judas dips below the other disciples into a "bowl of olive oil."
