Contextual Overview

18 A nd one of the leaders asked him and said to him, O good Teacher, what shall I do to inherit life everlasting? 19 Jesus said to him, Why do you call me good? there is no one good, except one, that is God. 20 You know the commandments: You shall not kill; You shall not commit adultery; You shall not steal; You shall not bear false witness; Honor your father and your mother. 21 He said to him, All these I have obeyed from my boyhood. 22 When Jesus heard it, he said to him, You lack one thing; go, sell everything you have, and give it to the poor, and you will have a treasure in heaven; and come and follow me. 23 But when he heard these things, he felt sad, because he was very rich. 24 And when Jesus saw that he felt sad, he said, How difficult it is for those who have wealth to enter into the kingdom of God! 25 It is easier for a rope to go through the eye of a needle, than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God. 26 Those who heard it said to him, Who then can be saved? 27 But Jesus said, Those things which are impossible to men are possible to 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;
