Mark 10:20 Meaning and Commentary

Mark 10:20

And he answered and, said unto him
With a great deal of pertness,

master, all these have I observed from my youth;

Mark 10:20 In-Context

18 And Jesus said unto him, Why dost thou call me good? there is none good but one, that is, God.

19 Thou knowest the commandments: Do not commit adultery, Do not murder, Do not steal, Do not bear false witness, Defraud not, Honour thy father and mother.

20 And he answered and said unto him, Master, all these I have observed from my youth.

21 Then Jesus beholding him loved him and said unto him, One thing thou lackest: go, sell all that thou hast and give to the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven; and come, take up the cross {Gr. stauros – stake}, and follow me taking up thy stake (if thy desire is to be perfect).

22 But he, saddened by this word, went away grieved, for he had great possessions.
