Mt 14:29a ... And then he-said, ... "Come!"

Verse 29 has 5 phrases and 20 words. The 1st and 2nd phrases contain 3 narrator and 1 dialog words ... Ho de eipen, Elthe! (The then he-said, ... "Come!").

The 4 words are bottom up from the tip of the triangle holding Simon above the stream of waters filling the wind filled boat to the words "Come" on the lips of Jesus. The only way this diagram can be drawn is if Jesus steps down on the waters to show Simon it is safe to do so. Jesus then gives Simon this simple word of encouragement as if he was saying, "If I can do it, you can do it!" Note how the number and order of words in the following phrases seems to be tailor made for each diagram.
