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,’

19 ^a‘Honor your father and your mother,’ and, ^b‘You shall love your neighbor as yourself.’ ”

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.

23 Then Jesus said to His disciples, “Assuredly, I say to you that ^ait is hard for a rich man to enter the kingdom of heaven.

24 And again I say to you, it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of God.”
