‏ Mark 12:32-34

Verse 32. And the scribe said] The answer of the scribe, contained in Mr 12:32-34, is not found either in Matthew or Luke. This is another proof against Mark's supposed abridgment.

Verse 34. Thou art not far from the kingdom of God.] This scribe appears to have been a prudent, sensible, and pious man; almost a Christian-so near the kingdom of God that he might have easily stepped in. It is very probable that he did at last believe in and confess Jesus.
