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 But Jesus said to him, Why callest thou me good? no one is good but one, [that is] God.

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

20 And he answering said to him, Teacher, all these things have I kept from my youth.

21 And Jesus looking upon him loved him, and said to him, One thing lackest thou: go, sell whatever thou hast and give to the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven; and come, follow me, [taking up the cross].

22 But he, sad at the word, went away grieved, for he had large possessions.
