Albert Barnes Commentary Mark 12:32

"And the scribe said unto him, Of a truth, Teacher, thou hast well said that he is one; and there is none other but he:" — Mark 12:32 (ASV)

Verse 32. Is more than all. Is of more importance and value.

You who prefer the internal to the external worship of God—who have so just a view of the requirements of the law—can easily become a follower of me, and are almost fit to be numbered among my disciples.

One system is grafted on the other, according to Galatians 3:24.

No man dared ask him any question. That is, no one of the scribes, the Pharisees, or the Sadducees, dared ask him a question for the purpose of tempting him, or entangling him. He had completely silenced them. It seems, however, that his disciples dared to ask him questions for the purpose of information.
