18 Jesus said to him, “Why do you call me good? Nobody is good except for one—God. 19 You know the commandments: ‘Never murder.’ ^{▼▼Exod 20:13; Deut 5:17} ‘Never commit adultery.’ ^{▼▼Exod 20:14; Deut 5:18} ‘Never steal.’ ^{▼▼Exod 20:15; Deut 5:19} ‘Never give false testimony.’ ^{▼▼Exod 20:16; Deut 5:20} ‘Never cheat.’ ‘Honor your father and mother.’” ^{▼▼Exod 20:12; Deut 5:16}Exod 20:1-26; Rom 13:9

20 The man ^{▼▼Lit. He} replied to him, “Teacher, I have kept all of these since I was a young man.”

21 Jesus looked at him and loved him. Then he told him, “You're missing one thing. Go and sell everything you own, give the money ^{▼▼The Gk. lacks the money} to the destitute, and you will have treasure in heaven. Then come back and follow me.”Matt 6:19-20; 19:21; Luke 12:33; 16:9 22 But the man ^{▼▼Lit. he} was shocked at this statement and went away sad, because he had many possessions.

19 Jesus said to him, “Why do you call me good? Nobody is good except for one—God. 20 You know the commandments: ‘Never commit adultery. ^{▼▼Exod 20:14; Deut 5:18} Never murder. ^{▼▼Exod 20:13; Deut 5:17} Never steal. ^{▼▼Exod 20:15; Deut 5:19} Never give false testimony. ^{▼▼Exod 20:16; Deut 5:20} Honor your father and mother.’” ^{▼▼Exod 20:12; Deut 5:16}Exod 20:12, 16; Deut 5:16-20; Rom 13:9; Eph 6:2; Col 3:20

21 The official ^{▼▼Lit. He} replied, “I have kept all of these since I was a young man.”

22 When Jesus heard this, he said to him, “You still need one thing. Sell everything you have and give the money ^{▼▼The Gk. lacks the money} to the destitute, and you will have treasure in heaven. Then come back and follow me.”Matt 6:19-20; 19:21; 1Tim 6:19 23 But when the official ^{▼▼Lit. he} heard this he became sad, because he was very rich.
