Mark 10:20 In-Context

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

19 You know the commandments: Never murder. Never commit adultery. Never steal. Never give false testimony. Never cheat. Honor your father and mother."

20 The man replied, "Teacher, I've obeyed all these commandments since I was a boy."

21 Jesus looked at him and loved him. He told him, "You're still missing one thing. Sell everything you have. Give the money to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven. Then follow me!"

22 When the man heard that, he looked unhappy and went away sad, because he owned a lot of property.
