The Rich Young Man

16 1And behold, a man came up to him, saying, "Teacher, what good deed must I do to 2have 3eternal life?"
17 And he said to him, "Why do you ask me about what is good? There is only one who is good. 4If you would enter life, keep the commandments."
18 He said to him, "Which ones?" And Jesus said, 5"You shall not murder, You shall not commit adultery, You shall not steal, You shall not bear false witness,
19 Honor your father and mother, and, 6You shall love your neighbor as yourself."
20 The young man said to him, 7"All these I have kept. What do I still lack?"
21 Jesus said to him, "If you would be 8perfect, go, 9sell what you possess and give to the poor, and you will have 10treasure in heaven; and come, follow me."
