Contextual Overview

18 A religious leader asked Jesus, "Good Teacher, what must I do to get eternal life?" 19 Jesus said to him, "Why do you call me good? Only God is good. 20 And you know his commands: ‘You must not commit adultery, you must not murder anyone, you must not steal, you must not tell lies about others, you must respect your father and mother ….'" 21 But the leader said, "I have obeyed all these commands since I was a boy." 22 When Jesus heard this, he said to the leader, "But there is still one thing you need to do. Sell everything you have and give the money to those who are poor. You will have riches in heaven. Then come and follow me." 23 But when the man heard Jesus tell him to give away his money, he was sad. He didn't want to do this, because he was very rich. 24 When Jesus saw that the man was sad, he said, "It will be very hard for rich people to enter God's kingdom. 25 It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich person to enter God's kingdom." 26 When the people heard this, they said, "Then who can be saved?" 27 Jesus answered, "God can do things that are not possible for people to do."
