Lucas 18:20 Meaning and Commentary

Luke 18:20

Thou knowest the commandments
The ten commandments given to Moses, and delivered to people; and which they were careful to teach their children; though five are only here mentioned, and not in the order in which they stand: suggesting hereby that these must be kept, or the law must he fulfilled, and satisfaction made for the violation of it, or there can be no inheriting eternal life. The five commandments mentioned are, the seventh, sixth, eighth, ninth, and fifth:

do not commit adultery; do not kill; do not steal; do not bear
false witness; honour father and thy mother;
(See Gill on Matthew 19:17) and (See Gill on Mark 10:19).

Lucas 18:20 In-Context

18 Cierto dirigente le preguntó:—Maestro bueno, ¿qué tengo que hacer para heredar la vida eterna?
19 —¿Por qué me llamas bueno? —respondió Jesús—. Nadie es bueno sino solo Dios.
20 Ya sabes los mandamientos: “No cometas adulterio, no mates, no robes, no presentes falso testimonio, honra a tu padre y a tu madre”.
21 —Todo eso lo he cumplido desde que era joven —dijo el hombre.
22 Al oír esto, Jesús añadió:—Todavía te falta una cosa: vende todo lo que tienes y repártelo entre los pobres, y tendrás tesoro en el cielo. Luego ven y sígueme.
