The Rich Young Man

¹⁶^(A)And behold, a man came up to him, saying, “Teacher, what good deed must I do to ^(B)have ^(C)eternal life?” ¹⁷And he said to him, “Why do you ask me about what is good? There is only one who is good. ^(D)If you would enter life, keep the commandments.” ¹⁸He said to him, “Which ones?” And Jesus said, ^(E)“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, ^(F)You shall love your neighbor as yourself.” ²⁰The young man said to him, ^(G)“All these I have kept. What do I still lack?” ²¹Jesus said to him, “If you would be ^(H)perfect, go, ^(I)sell what you possess and give to the poor, and you will have ^(J)treasure in heaven; and come, follow me.” ²²^(K)When the young man heard this he went away sorrowful, for he had great possessions.

He was a chief tax collector and was rich. ³And ^(B)he was seeking to see who Jesus was, but on account of the crowd he could not, because he was small in stature. ⁴So he ran on ahead and climbed up into ^(C)a sycamore tree to see him, for he was about to pass that way. ⁵And when Jesus came to the place, he looked up and said to him, “Zacchaeus, hurry and come down, for ^(D)I must stay at your house today.” ⁶So he hurried and came down and ^(E)received him joyfully. ⁷And when they saw it, they all ^(F)grumbled, “He has gone in to be the guest of a man who is a sinner.” ⁸And Zacchaeus stood and said to the Lord, “Behold, Lord, the half of my goods ^(G)I give to the poor. And if I have ^(H)defrauded anyone of anything, I restore it ^(I)fourfold.” ⁹And Jesus said to him, “Today salvation has come to this house, since ^(J)he also is a son of Abraham. ¹⁰For ^(K)the Son of Man came to seek and to save the lost.”
