Mar 12:32 | RWP | e4.org | And the scribe said ( ειπεν αυτω ο γραμματευς ). 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 about love as superior to whole burnt offerings. Well ( καλως ). Not to be taken with "saidst" ( ειπες ) as the Revised Version has it following Wycliff. Probably καλως (well) is exclamatory. "Fine, Teacher. Of a truth ( επ' αληθειας ) didst thou say."
