{And the scribe said} (eipen aut(9369) ho grammateus). Mark
alone gives the reply of the scribe to Jesus which is a mere
repetition of what Jesus had said about the first and the second
commandments with the additional allusion to 1Sa 15:22 about
love as superior to whole burnt offerings. {Well} (kal(9373)). Not
to be taken with "saidst" (eipes) as the Revised Version has it
following Wycliff. Probably kal(9373) (well) is exclamatory. "Fine,
Teacher. Of a truth (ep' al(8874)heias) didst thou say."
