Mark 10:17-22
Holman Christian Standard Bible
The Rich Young Ruler
17 As(A) He was setting out on a journey,(B) a man ran up, knelt down(C) before Him, and asked Him, “Good(D) Teacher,(E) what must I do to inherit(F) eternal life?”(G)
18 “Why do you call Me good?” Jesus asked him. “No one is good but One—God.(H) 19 You know the commandments:
Do not murder;(I)
do not commit adultery;(J)
do not steal;(K)
do not bear false witness;(L)
do not defraud;(M)
honor(N) your father and mother.”(O)[a]
20 He said to Him, “Teacher,(P) I have kept all these from my youth.”
21 Then, looking at him, Jesus loved him(Q) and said to him, “You lack one thing: Go, sell all you have and give to the poor,(R) and you will have treasure(S) in heaven.(T) Then come,[b] follow Me.”(U) 22 But he was stunned[c] at this demand, and he went away grieving,(V) because he had many possessions.(W)
