Contextual Overview

¹⁸ And a certain ruler put a question to him, saying, Good Master, what have I to do so that I may have eternal life? ¹⁹ And Jesus said to him, Why do you say that I am good? No one is good, but only God. ²⁰ You have knowledge of what the law says: Do not be untrue to your wife, Do not put anyone to death, Do not take what is not yours, Do not give false witness, Give honour to your father and mother. ²¹ And he said, All these things I have done from the time when I was a boy. ²² And Jesus, hearing it, said to him, One thing you still have need of; get money for your goods, and give it away to the poor, and you will have wealth in heaven; and come after me. ²³ But at these words he became very sad, for he had great wealth. ²⁴ And Jesus, looking at him, said, How hard it is for those who have wealth to get into the kingdom of God! ²⁵ It is simpler for a camel to go through the eye of a needle, than for a man who has much money to come into the kingdom of God. ²⁶ And those who were present said, Then who may have salvation? ²⁷ But he said, Things which are not possible with man are possible with God.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

Thou knowest the commandments,.... The ten commandments given to Moses, and delivered to people; and which they were careful to teach their children; though five are only here mentioned, and not in the order in which they stand: suggesting hereby that these must be kept, or the law must he fulfilled, and satisfaction made for the violation of it, or there can be no inheriting eternal life. The five commandments mentioned are, the seventh, sixth, eighth, ninth, and fifth:

do not commit adultery; do not kill; do not steal; do not bear false witness; honour father and thy mother;
