Mar 10:18 | MHM | STEP | v. 18 : Jesus replied, Why do you call me good? No one is good except God alone (Mark 10:18 ). Jesus does not deny his own goodness, but challenges the young man’s understanding of what "good" means. He wants the man to see that true goodness comes from God, and that we cannot reach God’s standard by ourselves.
