Mark 10:20 Meaning and Commentary

Mark 10:20

And he answered and, said unto him
With a great deal of pertness,

master, all these have I observed from my youth;
(See Gill on Matthew 19:20). In a certain copy, Beza says, it is added, as there, "what lack I yet?" and so in one of Stephens's copies.

Mark 10:20 In-Context

18 And Jesus said to him, `Why me dost thou call good? no one [is] good except One -- God;

19 the commands thou hast known: Thou mayest not commit adultery, Thou mayest do no murder, Thou mayest not steal, Thou mayest not bear false witness, Thou mayest not defraud, Honour thy father and mother.'

20 And he answering said to him, `Teacher, all these did I keep from my youth.'

21 And Jesus having looked upon him, did love him, and said to him, `One thing thou dost lack; go away, whatever thou hast -- sell, and give to the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven, and come, be following me, having taken up the cross.'

22 And he -- gloomy at the word -- went away sorrowing, for he was having many possessions.
