Matthew 19: 16 - 22
|
| 16
|
And behold, one came up to him, saying, "Teacher, what good deed must I do, to have eternal life?"
|
| 17
|
And he said to him, "Why do you ask me about what is good? One there is who is good. If you would enter life, keep the commandments."
|
| 18
|
He said to him, "Which?" And Jesus said, "You shall not kill, You shall not commit adultery, You shall not steal, You shall not bear false witness,
|
| 19
|
Honor your father and mother, and, You shall love your neighbor as yourself."
|
| 20
|
The young man said to him, "All these I have observed; what do I still lack?"
|
| 21
|
Jesus said to him, "If you would be perfect, go, sell what you possess and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven; and come, follow me."
|
| 22
|
When the young man heard this he went away sorrowful; for he had great possessions.
