Exegesis
The adversative all' ep' alētheias {ἀλλʼ ἐπʼ ἀληθείας | all' ep' alētheías} ‘but upon truth’ sets a sharp contrast, with the prepositional phrase modifying the following clause tēn hodon tou theou didaskeis {τὴν ὁδὸν τοῦ θεοῦ διδάσκεις | tḗn hodón tou theoû didáskeis} ‘you teach the way of God’, where the object ‘way of God’ depicts a manner of life aligned with God’s will.
In context — Mark 12:14
And after they came, they said to Him, “Teacher, we know that you are true , and you do not care about anyone; for you do not look at the face of men, but in truth you teach the way of God . Is it permitted to give tribute to Caesar, or not? Should we give, or should we not give?”
