Lukas 18:22

Listen to Lukas 18:22
22 Da Jesus das hörte, sprach er zu ihm: Es fehlt dir noch eins. Verkaufe alles, was du hast, und gib's den Armen, so wirst du einen Schatz im Himmel haben; und komm, folge mir nach!

Lukas 18:22 Meaning and Commentary

Luke 18:22

Now when Jesus heard these things
That he had kept all these commandments, and that ever since he was a child, and to that very time:

he said unto him, yet lackest thou one thing;
not but that he lacked many other things, and even every thing: for he had performed no one thing as it should be: but Christ said, partly in answer to his pert question, "what lack I yet?" and partly by an ironical concession, granting he had kept them all, as he had said, yet one thing was wanting; and chiefly with a view to mortify his pride and vanity:

sell all that thou hast, and distribute unto the poor, and thou
shalt have treasure in heaven, and come and follow me;
(See Gill on Matthew 19:21).

Lukas 18:22 In-Context

20 Du weißt die Gebote wohl: "Du sollst nicht ehebrechen; du sollst nicht töten; du sollst nicht stehlen; du sollst nicht falsch Zeugnis reden; du sollst deinen Vater und deine Mutter ehren."
21 Er aber sprach: Das habe ich alles gehalten von meiner Jugend auf.
22 Da Jesus das hörte, sprach er zu ihm: Es fehlt dir noch eins. Verkaufe alles, was du hast, und gib's den Armen, so wirst du einen Schatz im Himmel haben; und komm, folge mir nach!
23 Da er aber das hörte, ward er traurig; denn er war sehr reich.
24 Da aber Jesus sah, daß er traurig war geworden, sprach er: Wie schwer werden die Reichen in das Reich Gottes kommen!
