Mk 15:24a ... And they-crucify him, ....

Verse 24 has 4 phrases and 15 narrator words. The 1st phrase has these 3 words, ... Kai staurousin auton (And they-crucify him, ....).

The 3 narrator words are bottom up. The word "staurousin" (they crucify) is tangent to the four soldiers over the center of the cross and the face of Jesus. The pronoun "auton" (him) is tangent to the body of Jesus standing on the cross. This verse paraphrases the OT verse which reads ... "Many dogs have surrounded me; a band of evildoers has encompassed me; they pierced my hands and my feet. I can count all my bones. They stare at me and gloat." (Ps 22:16-17). This part of Psalm 22 prophesies the crucifixion of Jesus. The next diagram continues the prophesy based on Ps 22:18.
