Exegesis
The indefinite pronoun tines {τίνες | tí-nes} combined with the genitive phrase tôn grammateōn {τῶν γραμματέων | tôn gramma-te-ōn} narrows the subject to “some of the scribes,” indicating that not all legal experts agreed, which carries narrative nuance about divided opinion.
In context — Luke 20:39
But some of the scribes answered and said, “Teacher , you have spoken well.”
