The Gospel according to Mark (King James Version) I. The Question about the Greatest Commandment, 12:28–34
1 (12:28) Commandments, Supreme: this man was a lawyer (Mt. 22:35). Apparently his heart had been touched by Jesus. There were two indications of this. First, Mark tells us that the man was present when Jesus was “reasoning together” with the Sadducees (Mt. 12:28), and he perceived “that [Christ] had answered them well.” Second, at the conclusion of his own discussion with Jesus, Jesus said to the man, “Thou art not far from the kingdom of God” (Mk. 12:34).
