Mk 15:28a ... And the scripture was-fulfilled, the-one saying, ...

Verse 28 has 3 phrases containing 6 narrator and 4 dialog words. The 1st and 2nd phrases have these 6 words, ... Kai eplērōthē hē grafē, hē legousa, Kai meta anomōn elogisthē (And was-fulfilled the scripture, the-one saying, ...).

The 6 narrator words are bottom up. Verse 28 was deleted from many manuscripts for implying Jesus was also lawless because he was counted with the lawless. The words "the writing" is code for a citation from the Old Testament. This verse is a paraphrase from the last verse of the "Sinless Servant Oracle" which reads ... Therefore I will divide to him his portion with the great, and he will divide the spoil with the strong, because he surrendered himself to death, and he was counted among the wicked. And he shall take away the sins of many, and win pardon for their offenses. (Isaiah 53:12)
