Contextual Overview
18 And a certain ruler questioned him, saying, `Good teacher, what having done -- shall I inherit life age-during?' 19 And Jesus said to him, `Why me dost thou call good? no one [is] good, except One -- God; 20 the commands thou hast known: Thou mayest not commit adultery, Thou mayest do no murder, Thou mayest not steal, Thou mayest not bear false witness, Honour thy father and thy mother.' 21 And he said, `All these I did keep from my youth;' 22 and having heard these things, Jesus said to him, `Yet one thing to thee is lacking; all things -- as many as thou hast -- sell, and distribute to the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven, and come, be following me;' 23 and he, having heard these things, became very sorrowful, for he was exceeding rich. 24 And Jesus having seen him become very sorrowful, said, `How hardly shall those having riches enter into the reign of God! 25 for it is easier for a camel through the eye of a needle to enter, than for a rich man into the reign of God to enter.' 26 And those who heard, said, `And who is able to be saved?' 27 and he said, `The things impossible with men are possible with God.'
