Luke 18:20 Meaning and Commentary

Luke 18:20

Thou knowest the commandments
The ten commandments given to Moses, and delivered to people; and which they were careful to teach their children; though five are only here mentioned, and not in the order in which they stand: suggesting hereby that these must be kept, or the law must he fulfilled, and satisfaction made for the violation of it, or there can be no inheriting eternal life. The five commandments mentioned are, the seventh, sixth, eighth, ninth, and fifth:

do not commit adultery; do not kill; do not steal; do not bear
false witness; honour father and thy mother;
(See Gill on Matthew 19:17) and (See Gill on Mark 10:19).

Luke 18:20 In-Context

18 A certain leader asked Jesus, "Good Teacher, what must I do to have life forever?"

19 Jesus said to him, "Why do you call me good? Only God is good.

20 You know the commands: 'You must not be guilty of adultery. You must not murder anyone. You must not steal. You must not tell lies about your neighbor. Honor your father and mother.'"

21 But the leader said, "I have obeyed all these commands since I was a boy."

22 When Jesus heard this, he said to him, "There is still one more thing you need to do. Sell everything you have and give it to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven. Then come and follow me."
