A Rich Man Asks What To Do To Enter Heaven. Sell Everything And Follow Me

¹⁷ And while He was proceeding out on the road^[a], one having run up and knelt-before Him was asking Him, “Good Teacher, what should I do in order that I may inherit eternal life?” ¹⁸ And Jesus said to him, “Why do you call Me good? No one is good except One— God. ¹⁹ You know the commandments: ‘Do not murder, do not commit-adultery, do not steal, do not give-false-testimony, do not defraud, be honoring your father and mother’” ²⁰ And the one said to Him, “Teacher, I kept these all from my youth”. ²¹ And Jesus, having looked at him, loved him. And He said to him, “One thing is lacking as to you: Go, sell all-that you have and give it to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven. And come, be following Me”. ²² But the one, having become downcast at His word, went away grieving. For he was having many properties.
