The Rich Ruler
18 1And a ruler asked him, “Good Teacher, what must I do to
2inherit eternal life? ”
19
And Jesus said to him, “Why do you call me good? No one is good except God alone.
20
You know the commandments:
3‘Do not commit adultery, Do not murder, Do not steal, Do not bear false witness, Honor your father and mother. ’”
21
And he said,
4“All these I have kept from my youth. ”
22
When Jesus heard this, he said to him, “One thing you still lack.
5Sell all that you have and distribute to the poor, and you will have
6treasure in heaven; and come, follow me. ”
23
7But when he heard these things, he became very sad, for he was extremely rich.
