New King James Version NKJV
New International Version NIV
16 Now behold, one came and said to Him, "Good Teacher, what good thing shall I do that I may have eternal life?"
16
Just then a man came up to Jesus and asked, “Teacher, what good thing must I do to get eternal life?”
17 So He said to him, "Why do you call Me good? No one is good but One, that is, God. But if you want to enter into life, keep the commandments."
17
“Why do you ask me about what is good?” Jesus replied. “There is only One who is good. If you want to enter life, keep the commandments.”
18 He said to Him, "Which ones?" Jesus said, "'You shall not murder,' 'You shall not commit adultery,' 'You shall not steal,' 'You shall not bear false witness,'
18
“Which ones?” he inquired. Jesus replied, “ ‘You shall not murder, you shall not commit adultery, you shall not steal, you shall not give false testimony,
19 'Honor your father and your mother,' and, 'You shall love your neighbor as yourself.' "
19
honor your father and mother,’and ‘love your neighbor as yourself.’”
20 The young man said to Him, "All these things I have kept from my youth. What do I still lack?"
20
“All these I have kept,” the young man said. “What do I still lack?”
21 Jesus said to him, "If you want to be perfect, go, sell what you have and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven; and come, follow Me."
21
Jesus answered, “If you want to be perfect, go, sell your possessions and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven. Then come, follow me.”
22 But when the young man heard that saying, he went away sorrowful, for he had great possessions.
22
When the young man heard this, he went away sad, because he had great wealth.
