Contextual Overview

18 And a certain ruler asked him, saying, "Good Teacher, by doing what will I inherit eternal life?" 19 And Jesus said to him, "Why do you call me good? No one is good except God alone. 20 You know the commandments: ‘Do not commit adultery, do not murder, do not steal, do not give false testimony, honor your father and mother.'" 21 And he said, "All these I have observed from my youth." 22 And when he heard this, Jesus said to him, "You still lack one thing: Sell all that you have, and distribute the proceeds to the poor—and you will have treasure in heaven—and come, follow me." 23 But when he heard these things he became very sad, because he was extremely wealthy. 24 And Jesus took notice of him and said, "How difficult it is for those who possess wealth to enter into the kingdom of God! 25 For it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich person to enter into the kingdom of God. 26 So those who heard this said, "And who can be saved?" 27 But he said, "What is impossible with men is possible with God."
