^(o)And someone came to Him and said, "Teacher, what good thing shall I do that I may obtain ^(p)eternal life?"

And He said to him, "Why are you asking Me about what is good? There is only One who is good; but ^(q)if you wish to enter into life, keep the commandments."

Then he *said to Him, "Which ones?" And Jesus said, "^(r) You shall not commit murder; You shall not commit adultery; You shall not steal; You shall not bear false witness ;

^(s) Honor your father and mother ; and ^(t) You shall love your neighbor as yourself ."

The young man *said to Him, "All these things I have kept; what am I still lacking?"

Jesus said to him, "If you wish to be ^[j]complete, go and ^(u)sell your possessions and give to the poor, and you will have ^(v)treasure in heaven; and come, follow Me."

But when the young man heard this statement, he went away grieving; for he was one who owned much property.
