Contextual Overview
18 A leader of the people asked Jesus, "Good Teacher, what must I do to have life that lasts forever?" 19 Jesus said to him, "Why do you call Me good? There is only One Who is good. That is God. 20 You know the Laws. You must not do any sex sins. You must not kill another person. You must not steal. You must not tell a lie about someone else. Respect your father and your mother." 21 The leader said, "I have obeyed all these Laws since I was a boy." 22 When Jesus heard this, He said to the leader of the people, "There is still one thing you need to do. Sell everything you have. Give the money to poor people. Then you will have riches in heaven. Come and follow Me." 23 When the leader heard this, he was very sad because he had many riches. 24 When Jesus saw that he was very sad, He said, "It is hard for those with riches to go into the holy nation of God! 25 It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to go into the holy nation of God." 26 Those who heard this, said, "Then who can be saved from the punishment of sin?" 27 Jesus said, "God can do things men cannot do."
