Open this scene in the reader →16And behold, a man came up to him and said, “Teacher, what good thing must I do so that I may have eternal life?”
17And he said to him, “Why do you ask me about what is good? One is good. But if you want to enter into life, keep the commandments.”
18He says to him, “Which ones?” And Jesus said, “You shall not murder, you shall not commit adultery, you shall not steal, you shall not bear false witness,”
19Honor your father and mother, and love your neighbor as yourself.
20The young man says to him, “All these I have kept. What do I still lack?”
21Jesus said to him, “If you want to be perfect, go, sell your possessions and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven; then come, follow me.”
22But when the young man heard this word, he went away grieving, for he had many possessions.
