Mt 14:27 ... Yet immediately spoke the Jesus to-them saying, ... "Have courage, I am (the wind), not be-afraid."

Verse 27 has four phrases and 12 words, 7 narrator and 5 dialog words, ... Euthus de elalēsen ho Iēsous autois legōn, Tharseite, egō eimi, mē fobeisthe (Immediately yet the Jesus spoke to them saying, ... "Have courage, I am (the wind), do not fear").

The 7 narrator words are top down. The 5 dialog words are bottom up. The word "euthus," meaning "immediately," is the cue to use the previous diagram as a template. The command "Tharseite" (have courage) said to the eight vesicas is another way of saying "mē fobeisthe" (don't fear) said to the four faces. The words "egō eimi" (I Am) is the name of God from the Old Testament. It is also the unfinished sentence "I am 'the wind.'" The signs of "fear" become signs of "courage."
