Connecting Statement:
Jesus replies with a story to a Jewish teacher who wants to test Jesus. (See: rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-parables)
Behold, an expert in the law
This alerts us to a new event and a new person in the story. (See: rc://en/ta/man/jit/writing-newevent and rc://en/ta/man/jit/writing-participants)
stood up
This is an idiom that probably here means "began to act." Your language may have a different way of showing that the expert in the law had been present, listening to Jesus, and was now beginning to act. He was not necessarily sitting before he "stood up" and began to speak. (See: rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-idiom)
test him
"challenge Jesus"
