Exegesis
The verse opens with the fronted direct object tas entolas {τὰς ἐντολὰς | tàs en-to-làs} ‘the commandments,’ giving prominence to the known standard of behavior, followed by oidas {οἶδας | oî-das} ‘you know,’ which asserts the hearer’s awareness of these requirements.
In context — Mark 10:19
You know the commandments : “Do not murder, do not commit adultery, do not steal, do not bear false witness, do not defraud, honor your father and mother.”
