Mk 12:28c ... he asked him, ... "Which is (the) precept first of all?"

The 4th and 5th phrases have these 2 narrator and 5 dialog words, ... epērōtēsen auton, Poia estin entolē prōtē pantōn [he asked them, ... "Which is (the) precept first of all"]?

The 7 words are bottom up. The Greek word "entolē," comes from "en" (in) which intensifies "telos" (an end). The scribe is asking Jesus which of the many Mosaic Laws is the most important.
