16. Behold, one came to him and said, "Good teacher, what good thing shall I do, that I may have eternal life?"

17. He said to him,"Why do you call me good?No one is good but one, that is, God. But if you want to enter into life, keep the commandments."

18. He said to him, "Which ones?"JESUS said,"'You shall not murder.' 'You shall not commit adultery.' 'You shall not steal.' 'You shall not offer false testimony.'

19. 'Honor your father and your mother.'Exodus 20:12-16; Deuteronomy 5:16-20And, 'You shall love your neighbor as yourself.'"Leviticus 19:18

20. The young man said to him, "All these things I have observed from my youth. What do I still lack?"

21. JESUS said to him,"If you want to be perfect, go, 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 the saying, he went away sad, for he was one who had great possessions.

17. As he was going out into the way, one ran to him, knelt before him, and asked him, "Good Teacher, what shall I do that I may inherit eternal life?"

18. JESUS said to him,"Why do you call me good? No one is good except one-God.

19. You know the commandments: 'Do not murder,' 'Do not commit adultery,' 'Do not steal,' 'Do not give false testimony,' 'Do not defraud,' 'Honor your father and mother.'"Exodus 20:12-16; Deuteronomy 5:16-20

20. He said to him, "Teacher, I have observed all these things from my youth."

21. JESUS looking at him loved him, and said to him,"One thing you lack. Go, sell whatever you have, and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven; and come, follow me, taking up the cross."

22. But his face fell at that saying, and he went away sorrowful, for he was one who had great possessions.

18. A certain ruler asked him, saying, "Good Teacher, what shall I do to inherit eternal life?"

19. JESUS asked him,"Why do you call me good? No one is good, except one-God.

20. You know the commandments: 'Don't commit adultery,' 'Don't murder,' 'Don't steal,' 'Don't give false testimony,' 'Honor your father and your mother.'"Exodus 20:12-16; Deuteronomy 5:16-20

21. He said, "I have observed all these things from my youth up."

22. When JESUS heard these things, he said to him,"You still lack one thing. Sell all that you have, and distribute it to the poor. You will have treasure in heaven. Come, follow me."

23. But when he heard these things, he became very sad, for he was very rich.

24. JESUS, seeing that he became very sad, said,"How hard it is for those who have riches to enter into God's Kingdom!
