Lucas 18:22

22 Cuando Jesús oyó esto, le dijo: Te falta todavía una cosa; vende todo lo que tienes y reparte entre los pobres, y tendrás tesoro en los cielos; y ven, sígueme.

Lucas 18:22 Meaning and Commentary

Luke 18:22

Now when Jesus heard these things
That he had kept all these commandments, and that ever since he was a child, and to that very time:

he said unto him, yet lackest thou one thing;
not but that he lacked many other things, and even every thing: for he had performed no one thing as it should be: but Christ said, partly in answer to his pert question, "what lack I yet?" and partly by an ironical concession, granting he had kept them all, as he had said, yet one thing was wanting; and chiefly with a view to mortify his pride and vanity:

sell all that thou hast, and distribute unto the poor, and thou
shalt have treasure in heaven, and come and follow me;
(See Gill on Matthew 19:21).

Lucas 18:22 In-Context

20 Tú sabes los mandamientos: "NO COMETAS ADULTERIO, NO MATES, NO HURTES, NO DES FALSO TESTIMONIO, HONRA A TU PADRE Y A TU MADRE."
21 Y él dijo: Todo esto lo he guardado desde mi juventud.
22 Cuando Jesús oyó esto, le dijo: Te falta todavía una cosa; vende todo lo que tienes y reparte entre los pobres, y tendrás tesoro en los cielos; y ven, sígueme.
23 Pero al oír esto, se puso muy triste, pues era sumamente rico.
24 Mirándolo Jesús, dijo: ¡Qué difícil es que entren en el reino de Dios los que tienen riquezas!
