Arcana Coelestia # 2370
2370. 'Stand back' means their angry threats, that is, threats against the good that flows from charity. This is clear from the meaning of 'Lot' as the good that flows from charity, to whom, and concerning whom, these words were addressed. That they are angry threats is evident from these words themselves and from those that follow. It may also be evident that they embody the consideration that if he spoke about or commended that good any further they would utterly reject it, meant by 'stand back'.
Mark 12:28-35
28
One of the scribes came, and heard them questioning together. Knowing that he had answered them well, asked him, "Which commandment is the greatest of all?"
29
Jesus answered, "The greatest is, 'Hear, Israel, the Lord our God, the Lord is one:
30
you shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your mind, and with all your strength.' This is the first commandment.
31
The second is like this, 'You shall love your neighbor as yourself.' There is no other commandment greater than these."
32
The scribe said to him, "Truly, teacher, you have said well that he is one, and there is none other but he,
33
and to love him with all the heart, and with all the understanding, with all the soul, and with all the strength, and to love his neighbor as himself, is more important than all whole burnt offerings and sacrifices."
34
When Jesus saw that he answered wisely, he said to him, "You are not far from the Kingdom of God." No one dared ask him any question after that.
35
Jesus responded, as he taught in the temple, "How is it that the scribes say that the Christ is the son of David?
