Luke 18:21 Meaning and Commentary

Luke 18:21

And he said
That is, the ruler said to him, as the Syriac and Ethiopic versions add; "to Jesus", as the Persic version expresses it;

all these have I kept from my youth up; (See Gill on Matthew 19:20) where it is added, what lack I yet?

Luke 18:21 In-Context

19 "Why do you call Me good?" Jesus asked him. "No one is good but One-God.

20 You know the commandments: Do not commit adultery; do not murder; do not steal; do not bear false witness; honor your father and mother. "

21 "I have kept all these from my youth," he said.

22 When Jesus heard this, He told him, "You still lack one thing: sell all that you have and distribute it to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven. Then come, follow Me."

23 After he heard this, he became extremely sad, because he was very rich.
