18 The man said, "Which ones?" Then Jesus said, "Don't commit murder. Don't commit adultery. Don't steal. Don't give false testimony.

19 Honor your father and mother, and love your neighbor as you love yourself."

20 The young man replied, "I've kept all these. What am I still missing?"

21 Jesus said, "If you want to be complete, go, sell what you own, and give the money to the poor. Then you will have treasure in heaven. And come follow me."

22 But when the young man heard this, he went away saddened, because he had many possessions.
