Mk 15:28b ... "And with lawless-ones he-was-counted."

The 3rd phrase has these 4 dialog words ... Kai meta anomōn elogisthē (And with lawless-ones he-was-counted). The word anomōn comes from the negative prefix "a" meaning "no, or not," and the noun "nomos," meaning the "Mosaic Law."

Diagram 1: The 4 dialog words are top down, tangent to the scripture, Jesus (888), and the cross (4595). Jesus is tangent to the two robbers crucified with him. The perimeter of the circle and cross is 4,595 (15:25b, #1). The circumference of Jesus (888) plus the two thieves crucified with Jesus,"one out right and one out left" (Mk 15:27) (888 + 3707 = 4,595). The face of Jesus and the 4 dialog words tangent to the upright stake of the cross fill the Scripture from top to bottom. The centurian, the scripture, and the four "lawless Roman soldiers" in the bowl of the earth fill the graph!

Diagram 2: The 4 words, in two sizes (888, 1480), are top down, tangent top and bottom to the scripture in the background. Jesus as "King of the Jews" stands in the Star of David from diagram 15:26. The two robbers (1480 size) crucified with him are exactly tangent to the Star of David and the hexagon framing the scripture. The five Romans soldiers (1480 size) tangent to the scripture and the two robbers (1480) tangent to Jesus show "he was counted with lawless ones."

Verse 28 was purged from Mark in many bibles because the early Church was opposed to the idea that Jesus could be equated with "the lawless." The diagrams for verses 15:25-32 are extremely powerful examples that point to the use of gematria in the gospel of Mark.
