Mk 15:2a ... And asked him the Pilate, ... "You are the King of the Jews"?

Verse 15:2 contains 4 phrases and 18 words. The first two phrases have these 5 narrator and 6 dialog words ... Kai epērōtēsen auton hō Pilatos, Su ei ho basileus tōn Ioudaiōn (And questioned him the Pilate, ... "You are the King of the Jews")?

The first phrase of 5 narrator words "Kai epērōtēsen auton hō Pilatos" (And asked him the Pilate) are top down tangent to the purple triangle and to the face of Pilate. The second phrase of 6 dialog words "Su ei ho basileus tōn Ioudaiōn" (You are the King of the Jews) are top down tangent to Jesus and read like a statement rather than a question. The diagram shows Pilate's words grab the hands of Jesus inside the Star of David, the sign of the "King of the Jews." However with all the power he controls, Pilate himself is the defacto King of the Jews.
