Mark 10:17-22

The Rich Young Man

17 ¹And as he was setting out on his journey, a man ran up and ²knelt before him and asked him, “Good Teacher, what must I do to ³inherit eternal life? ”

18 And Jesus said to him, “Why do you call me good? No one is good except God alone.

19 You know the commandments: ⁴‘Do not murder, Do not commit adultery, Do not steal, Do not bear false witness, Do not defraud, Honor your father and mother. ’”

20 And he said to him, “Teacher, ⁵all these I have kept from my youth. ”

21 And Jesus, ⁶looking at him, ⁷loved him, and said to him, “You lack one thing: go, ⁸sell all that you have and give to the poor, and you will have ⁹treasure in heaven; and come, follow me. ”

22 ¹⁰Disheartened by the saying, he went away sorrowful, for he had great possessions.
