Exegesis
The adverb kalōs {Καλῶς | ka-lôs} precedes the verb eprophēteusen {ἐπροφήτευσεν | e-pro-phē-teu-sen}, placing emphasis on the correctness of Isaiah’s prior speech: “Isaiah rightly prophesied.”
In context — Mark 7:6
But He said to them, “Isaiah rightly prophesied about you hypocrites, as it is written, ‘This people honors Me with their lips, but their heart is far from Me.’”
