Luke 18:22
Compare all
20 You know the commandments: a‘Do not commit adultery,’ ‘Do not murder,’ ‘Do not steal,’ ‘Do not bear false witness,’ b‘Honor your father and your mother.’ ”  
21 And he said, “All athese things I have kept from my youth.”  
22 So when Jesus heard these things, He said to him, “You still lack one thing. aSell all that you have and distribute to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven; and come, follow Me.”  
23 But when he heard this, he became very sorrowful, for he was very rich.

With God All Things Are Possible

24 And when Jesus saw that he became very sorrowful, He said, a“How hard it is for those who have riches to enter the kingdom of God!  
25 For 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.”

Luke 18:22

One thing thou lackest yet (eti en soi leipei). Literally, one thing still fails thee or is wanting to thee. An old verb with the dative of personal interest. Mark 10:21 has here usterei se, which see. It was an amazing compliment for one who was aiming at perfection (Matthew 19:21). The youth evidently had great charm and was sincere in his claims.

Distribute (diadov). Second aorist active imperative of diadidwmi (give to various ones, dia-). Here Mark and Matthew simply have dov (give). The rest the same in all three Gospels.
