Alternate translation: [with … with … with]
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns
ἐξ ὅλης τῆς συνέσεως

ἐξ ὅλης τῆς ἰσχύος
with all the with all the with all the strength

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / ellipsis
ὡς ἑαυτὸν
as himself
The scribe is leaving out some of the words that a sentence would need in many languages to be complete. If it would be helpful in your language, you could supply these words from the context. See how you expressed the similar idea in 12:31. Alternate translation: [as one love oneself]
Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / simile

Note 7 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
περισσότερόν ἐστιν

Here the scribe means that keeping these two commandments is more important or significant than offering burnt offerings and sacrifices. If it would be helpful in your language, you could make that idea more explicit. Alternate translation: [is even more important than] or [is more significant than]
Note 8 topic: figures-of-speech / doublet
πάντων τῶν ὁλοκαυτωμάτων καὶ θυσιῶν
all the whole_burnt_offerings and sacrifices
The terms whole burnt offerings and sacrifices mean similar things. The scribe is using the two terms together to include all the different kinds of sacrifices and offerings in his claim. If it would be clearer for your readers, you could express the emphasis with a single phrase. Alternate translation: [all the various offerings] or [all sacrifices that anyone might offer]
12:28-34 After the three hostile challenges of 11:27–12:27, the reader might expect the next question to Jesus to be hostile (see 11:28; 12:13, 15, 19-23), but this was not a hostile counter. Earlier references in Mark to the teachers of religious law have portrayed them as antagonistic (2:6-7, 16; 3:22; 7:1, 5; 8:31; 9:14; 10:33; 11:18, 27), and Jesus will warn the crowds against their hypocrisy (12:38-40), but this teacher was positively inclined toward Jesus (12:28, 32) and praised him (12:32-33). Jesus described the man’s answer to his question as having understanding, and Jesus said that the man was not far from the Kingdom of God (12:34).
OET (OET-LV) and, the To_be_loving him with all the heart, and with all the intelligence, and with all the strength, and, which To_be_loving his neighbor as himself, is more_important all the whole_burnt_offerings and sacrifices.
OET (OET-RV) and saying that we should love him with all our heart and all our intelligence and all our strength, and to be loving our neighbours like we look after ourselves, and all this is more important than all the required temple offerings and sacrifices.”
Note: The OET-RV is still only a first draft, and so far only a few words have been (mostly automatically) matched to the Hebrew or Greek words that they’re translated from.
