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.

With God All Things Are Possible

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.

Matthew 19:18-19

Matthew 19:18 Thou shalt do no murder. The Lord passes over the first four of the ten commandments, throws the young man back to his relations with his fellow-men, compels him to give an account of his moral goodness, and after keeping the letter of the moral commands, still to confess his sense of a lack.
