(Matthew 19:16-21)
16Now a man came up to Jesus and asked, “Teacher, what
good thing must I do to get eternal life?”
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, obey the
commandments.”
18“Which ones?” the man inquired.
Jesus replied, “‘Do not murder, do not
commit adultery, do not steal, do not give false testimony,
19honor your father and mother,’ and ‘love your neighbor as
yourself.’”
20“All
these I have kept,” the young man said. “What do I still lack?”
21Jesus 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.”
