Mk 14:40a ... And again having come, he found them down sleeping, were for of them the eyes fallen shut.

Verse 40 has 4 phrases and 18 narrator words. The 1st, 2nd, and 3rd phrases have these 12 words ... Kai palin elthōn euren autous katheudontas, ēsan gar autōn hoi ofthalmoi katabarunomenoi (And again having come, he found them down sleeping, were for of them the eyes fallen shut).

The 12 narrator words are top down. The first 6 words are tangent to the disciples down sleeping. The last 6 words are tangent to their 6 eyes fallen shut under their eyelids. The last 2 words "eyes fallen shut" are tangent to the top of the triangle holding six blue eyes arrayed as spokes in a circle closed shut by six eyelids having a combined circumference of 1480 units. This diagram visually fulfills the prophecy made in verses 37-38 that their "flesh" (eyelids) were "weak" and "not strong."
