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;
(See Gill on Matthew 19:20). In a certain copy, Beza says, it is added, as there, "what lack I yet?" and so in one of Stephens's copies.

Mark 10:20 In-Context

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

19 You know the commandments: 'Do not murder, do not commit adultery, do not steal, do not give false testimony, do not defraud, honor your father and mother.'"

20 And he said to him, "Teacher, all these I have observed from my youth."

21 And Jesus, looking at him, loved him, and said to him, "You lack one [thing]: Go, sell all that you have, and give [the proceeds] to the poor--and you will have treasure in heaven--and come, follow me."

22 But he looked gloomy at the statement [and] went away sorrowful, {because he had} many possessions.
