Mt 14:24c ... for was set-in-against-it 'the wind.'

The 3rd phrase has these 5 narrator words ... en gar enantios ho anemos (was for "set in against it" the wind).

The 5 narrator words are bottom up. The word "enantios" is derived from the preposition en (in) which intensifies antios (set against), meaning "ho anemos" (the wind) was "set in against" the swells and at the same time the wind was "inside and over" the boat. Obviously the five words of this phrase was tailor made to fit inside the sign of "the wind" which was "set in" against "the mountain," and "the boat," and "the swell of the waves." The narrator is commenting on how the diagram appears! Jesus in the top of the mountain is blowing the wind down into the boat, torturing the boat and the disciples in the middle of the sea.
