Mk 15:28a ... And the Writing was fulfilled ...

The words "the Writing" is code for drawing the sign of a Book with a citation from the Old Testament. This verse is a paraphrase from the last verse of the well known "Sinless Servant Oracle" which reads ...

Therefore I will divide to him his portion with the Great .. And he will divide the spoil with the Strong .. Because he surrendered himself to death .. And was counted among the wicked .. And he shall take away the sins of many .. And win pardon for their offenses. (Isaiah 53:12).

Mk 15:28b ... the one-saying ... and with Lawless-Ones he was counted.

Verse 28 was purged from Mark in many bibles because the Roman Catholic Church was opposed to the idea that Jesus could be equated with "the wicked." These two diagrams are extremely powerful examples that prove the use of gematria in the gospel of Mark.
