Mt 14:23a ... And having-sent-away the crowds, he-stepped-up into the mountain, by himself to-pray.

Verse 23 has 5 phrases and 17 narrator words. The first 3 phrases contain these 11 narrator words, ... "Kai apolusas tous oxlous, anebē eis to oros, kat idian proseuksasthai" (And having-sent-away the crowds, he-stepped-up into the mountain, by himself to-pray).

The 11 narrator words are bottom up. The 4 words "Kai apolusas tous oxlous" (And having sent away the crowds) overlap the 3 crowds of 15,000 men, women, and children that Jesus dismissed below the mountain. The second phrase of 4 words "anebē eis to oros" (he stepped up into the mountain) are tangent from the base of the mountain to the two green triangles tangent to its center. The third phrase of 3 words "kat idian proseuksasthai" (by himself to-pray) are tangent to the feet of Jesus and the sides of the mountain peak (the Holy Spirit triangle) holding him, raising his hands in prayer.
