Contextual Overview
18 Then a person of distinction ask'd him this question, good master, what must I do to inherit eternal life? 19 Jesus replied, why do you call me good? there is but one who is good, that is God. 20 you know the commandments, "do not commit adultery, do not kill, do not steal, do not bear false witness, honour thy father and mother." 21 all these, said he, have I observ'd from my youth. 22 upon hearing that, Jesus said to him, one thing you have yet to do: sell all you have, and give it to the poor, and you shall have treasure in heaven: then come, and follow me. 23 upon hearing this he was very sad: for he had a large estate. 24 Jesus perceiving him so very dejected, said, how difficult is it for those, who have riches, to enter into the kingdom of God! 25 it is easier for a cable to pass through the eye of a needle, than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God. 26 upon which the audience said, who then can be saved? 27 Jesus answer'd, by divine assistance men may do that which would be otherwise impossible.
