Contextual Overview

18A ruler asked him, “Good teacher, what must I do to inherit eternal life?” 19“Why do you call me good?” 20You know the commandments: Do not commit adultery; do not murder; do not steal; do not bear false witness; honor your father and mother.”21“I have kept all these from my youth,” he said. 22When Jesus heard this, he told him, “You still lack one thing: Sell all you have and distribute it to the poor, 23After he heard this, he became extremely sad, because he was very rich. 24Seeing that he became sad, Jesus said, “How hard it is for those who have wealth to enter the kingdom of God! 25For it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich person to enter the kingdom of God.” 26Those who heard this asked, “Then who can be saved?” 27He replied, “What is impossible with man is 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;
