Luk 18:19 | MHM | STEP | v. 19 : Jesus answered, “Why do you call me good? None is good, except one, that is, God.” Jesus wanted the ruler to think about what he meant by “good.” If he called Jesus good, did he believe Jesus was from God—or even God Himself? Jesus reminded him that true goodness comes from God alone (Luke 18:19 ).
