17 For ver. 17-30, see Matt. 19:16-29;Luke 18:18-30;[Luke 10:25-28] And as he was setting out on his journey, a man ran up and See ch. 1:40knelt before him and asked him, "Good Teacher, what must I do to [Matt. 19:16]; See Matt. 25:34inherit eternal life?" 18 And Jesus said to him, "Why do you call me good? No one is good except God alone.19 You know the commandments: Rom. 13:9;Cited from Ex. 20:12-16;Deut. 5:16-20;[Matt. 5:21,27]‘Do not murder, Do not commit adultery, Do not steal, Do not bear false witness, Do not defraud, Honor your father and mother.’"20 And he said to him, "Teacher, [Phil. 3:6]all these I have kept from my youth." 21 And Jesus, ver. 27;Luke 22:61;John 1:42;[ch. 3:5] looking at him, [John 11:5;13:23] loved him, and said to him, "You lack one thing: go, Luke 12:33;[Luke 16:9;19:8;Acts 2:45;4:34,35;1 Tim. 6:18,19] sell all that you have and give to the poor, and you will have Matt. 6:19,20treasure in heaven; and come, follow me."22 [Ezek. 33:31]Disheartened by the saying, he went away sorrowful, for he had great possessions.
