Mk 15:38a ... And the veil of-the Sanctuary, ...

Verse 38 has 2 phrases containing 12 narrator words. The 1st phrase contains these 5 narrator words ... Kai to katapetasma tou naou (And the veil of-the Sanctuary ...).

The 5 narrator words are bottom up. From verse 15:37, this diagram shows the Temple, the "great cry," and the last air Jesus "breathed out" of his lungs just before he died. The 3 words "katapetasma tou naou" are partially or wholly tangent to the "Veil of the Sanctuary." The veil (to katapetasma) was a blue embroided tapestry of the Heavens that hung over the entrance to the Holy of Holies, the "Temple Sanctuary" (tou naou), the room with walls covered in pure gold that lied directly behind the blue veil. The next diagram will show what happened to the veil of the Sanctuary when the "great cry" and the "last breath" simultaneously hit the Temple Veil at the moment Jesus died on the cross on Golgotha, the Place of the Skull.
