Verse 5 has 5 phrases containing 16 narrator words. The 1st phrase has these 5 words ... Kai eiselthousai eis to mnemeion (And having come into the tomb, ...). The 5 words are bottom up. The "empty tomb" is the 24th miracle of Jesus in Mark's gospel and the diagrams for verses 16:5-8 confirm it, that Jesus rose from the dead. The words appear next to the images they name. The 3 words "Kai eiselthousai eis" (and having come into) are tangent to the three women. The 2 words "to mnemeion" (the tomb) are tangent to the three women, the tomb, and the nitch in the tomb, the place for the dead, the same place the two words appeared in diagram 16:3b. The diagram shows the three woman have come into the tomb huddled together for mutual support just like they appeared in the previos diagram. They will continue to stay together because the next three phrases are devoted to gematria wordplay. 16:4 < Verse > 16:5b |
