The ancient Greek word "τρία" ≈ "three".

When drawing triangles, there are three points to keep in mind.

The ancient Greek word "τρίγωνον" ≈ "triangle" from "τρεῖς" ≈ "three" and "γωνία" ≈ "corner, angle". A "polygon" has "many angles". The modern Greek word "τρίγωνο" (TREE-go-no) ≈ "triangle".
The English word "triangle" comes, through French, from the Latin word "triangulum" ≈ "triangle" from the Latin word "tres" ≈ "three" and the Latin word "angulus" ≈ "corner, angle" which appears to be a calque of the Greek word.

Does it make any sense to make comparisons of the following, using Spoonerisms of the Greek with Latin (transliteration)?

• By embracing the brother Jesus, one effectively calls the council "raka" or (Latin Spoonerism) an "animal pen" or "chicken coop" or "pigsty" or (Greek Spoonerism) "grace" or "favor".
• By embracing the "council", one effectively call the brother Jesus a "fool" or (Latin Spoonerism) "Rome" or (Greek Spoonerism) "Rome" or "might" or "power" or "strength".

These verses appear to indicate that this discourse is carefully worded to apply to all time and not just this particular mission or to just the House of Israel.

The ancient Greek word "συνέδριον" ≈ "council" as in an "advising body" or "governing body". This is a man-made organization. The word comes from two words and means, literally, "sitting together". This word can be a play on words with "together three" as in the "three" parts of Satan, also represented as "gold", "silver" and "copper".

The ancient Greek word "συναγωγή" ≈ "gathering" as in a "synagogue" and can be a play on words with the three constituent words "together", "lead, bring, go" and "earth".

The ancient Greek word "τρίβολος" ≈ "prickly plant" as in a plant with "thistles" on it. The word appears to literally mean "three arrows" where ancient Greek often uses the prefix of "three" to mean "a lot of". The Latin word "tribulos" ≈ "thistle".
I have wondered since the 1980's (when I started to learn Greek) if the Star Trek episode involving "Trouble with tribbles" based the word "tribble" on the Greek "τρίβολος" ≈ "prickly plant" for "thistle" since a tribble in that episode looks somewhat like a "thistle".

As for a better explanation, "thistle" have to do!

• "σατα" ≈ "measures".
• "τρια" ≈ "three".
• "σαταν" ≈ "Satan".

Can you think of ways that these allusions might be "encrypted" in the "wheat" or "meal"?

☐ σατα τρια (sata tria) as "measures three" (as written)
☐ σαταν τρια (Satan tria) as "Satan three"
☐ σαταρίς τρια (sataris tria) as "woman's headdress three"
☐ στατηρα τρια (statira tria) as "temple tax coin three"

The ancient Greek word "πατρίς" ≈ "place of one's ancestors" and "πατρίδα" ≈ "place of one's ancestors" (as used) is accusative singular and is the source, through Latin, of the English word "patriot".
Jesus often uses words with "tri" or "three" in them, or play on words of "three", with a negative connotation (e.g., Satanic). The word comes from "πατήρ" ≈ "father" which comes from a PIE root and is related to "Jupiter" winch appears related to "Japheth" the son of Noah.

The Greek for "strangers" is not the usual Greek word for "stranger". The word used appears to be a play on words with "other three" which could be what is sometimes called the "Satanic trinity".

• "ἀλλότριος" ≈ "belonging to another, stranger".
• "ἄλλος" ≈ "other - similar" (of things that are similar in some way).
• "τρία" ≈ "three" (play on words).

John uses this exact word for "stranger" for the one from which "sheep" will "flee" as they know not the voice. John 10:5.

What does it mean to be "free"? This statement appears to setup the "render to Caesar" trick when the religious establishment is "ready to try anything" and translated as "crafty". There may be a play on words with "free" here.

Paraphrase: of the other three [Satanic trinity]. ... Then the sons (Jesus, disciples, believers) are free (of bondage of sin) [that is, they are wheat harvest]

Note that the "temple tax" is for the "children" on "sons" and not for the "others".
