Listen to Luc 18:19
19 Jésus lui dit: Pourquoi m'appelles-tu bon? Personne n'est bon, sauf Dieu seul.

Luc 18:19 Meaning and Commentary

Luke 18:19

And Jesus said unto him
In answer to his question, beginning with the character he gave him:

why callest thou me good?
it being unusual to address men, even their Rabbins, under such a title:

none is good, save one, [that is], God:
or "but God alone"; as the Vulgate Latin and Arabic versions render it; or, "but the one God", as read the Syriac, Persic, and Ethiopic versions; (See Gill on Matthew 19:17).
