马太福音 19:20

20 那 少 年 人 说 ： 这 一 切 我 都 遵 守 了 ， 还 缺 少 甚 麽 呢 ？

马太福音 19:20 Meaning and Commentary

Matthew 19:20

The young man saith unto him
For though he was so very rich and in such an exalted station in life, as to be a ruler, it seems he was but a young man; and to be so early serious and religious, amidst so much riches and grandeur, though it was but externally, was both remarkable and commendable: upon hearing the answer of Christ, with which he was highly pleased and greatly elated, he very pertly replies,

all these things have I kept from my youth up:
as soon as he was capable of learning, his parents taught him these precepts; and ever since he had the use of his reason, and understood the letter, and outward meaning of them, he had been careful to observe them; nor could he charge himself with any open and flagrant transgression of them; not understanding the internal sense, extensive compass, and spirituality of them; and therefore asks,

what lack I yet?
In what am I deficient hitherto? in what have I come short of doing these things? what remains at last to be performed? what other precepts are to be obeyed? if there are any other commands, I am ready to observe them, which may be thought necessary to obtain eternal life.

马太福音 19:20 In-Context

18 他 说 ： 甚 麽 诫 命 ？ 耶 稣 说 ： 就 是 不 可 杀 人 ； 不 可 奸 淫 ； 不 可 偷 盗 ； 不 可 作 假 见 证 ；

19 当 孝 敬 父 母 ， 又 当 爱 人 如 己 。

20 那 少 年 人 说 ： 这 一 切 我 都 遵 守 了 ， 还 缺 少 甚 麽 呢 ？

21 耶 稣 说 ： 你 若 愿 意 作 完 全 人 ， 可 去 变 卖 你 所 有 的 ， 分 给 穷 人 ， 就 必 有 财 宝 在 天 上 ； 你 还 要 来 跟 从 我 。

22 那 少 年 人 听 见 这 话 ， 就 忧 忧 愁 愁 的 走 了 ， 因 为 他 的 产 业 很 多 。
