A Rich Man Comes to Jesus(A)
17 As Jesus[a] was setting out again,[b] a man ran up to him, knelt down in front of him, and asked him, “Good Teacher, what must I do to inherit eternal life?”
18 “Why do you call me good?” Jesus asked him. “Nobody is good except for one—God. 19 You know the commandments: ‘Never murder.’[c] ‘Never commit adultery.’[d] ‘Never steal.’[e] ‘Never give false testimony.’[f] ‘Never cheat.’ ‘Honor your father and mother.’”[g]
20 The man[h] replied to him, “Teacher, I have obeyed all of these since I was a young man.”
21 Jesus looked at him and loved him. Then he told him, “You’re missing one thing. Go and sell everything you own, give the money[i] to the destitute, and you will have treasure in heaven. Then come back and follow me.” 22 Shocked at this statement, the man[j] went away sad, because he had many possessions.

The Rich and the Kingdom of God(A)
17 As Jesus started on his way, a man ran up to him and fell on his knees(B) before him. “Good teacher,” he asked, “what must I do to inherit eternal life?”(C)
18 “Why do you call me good?” Jesus answered. “No one is good—except God alone. 19 You know the commandments: ‘You shall not murder, you shall not commit adultery, you shall not steal, you shall not give false testimony, you shall not defraud, honor your father and mother.’[a]”(D)
20 “Teacher,” he declared, “all these I have kept since I was a boy.”
21 Jesus looked at him and loved him. “One thing you lack,” he said. “Go, sell everything you have and give to the poor,(E) and you will have treasure in heaven.(F) Then come, follow me.”(G)
22 At this the man’s face fell. He went away sad, because he had great wealth.

22 When Jesus heard this, he told him, “You still need to do one thing. Sell everything you have and give the money[h] to the destitute, and you will have treasure in heaven. Then come back and follow me.” 23 But when the official[i] heard this he became sad, because he was very rich.
