Jesus Counsels the Rich Young Ruler
16 aNow behold, one came and said to Him, b“Good Teacher, what good thing shall I do that I may have eternal life?”
17 So He said to him,1 “Why do you call Me good? No one is agood but One, that is, God. But if you want to enter into life, bkeep the commandments.”
18 He said to Him, “Which ones?” Jesus said, a“‘You shall not murder,’ ‘You shall not commit adultery,’ ‘You shall not steal,’ ‘You shall not bear false witness,’
20 The young man said to Him, “All these things I have akept from my youth. What do I still lack?”
21 Jesus said to him, “If you want to be perfect, ago, sell what you have and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven; and come, follow Me.”
22 But when the young man heard that saying, he went away sorrowful, for he had great possessions.
