Jesus Christ » History of » Receives the rich young ruler who asks what he shall do to inherit eternal life (in peraea)
Immediately one came near him, saying, good master, what good shall I do, to obtain eternal life? and he said to him, why do you stile me good? there is but one that is good, that is God. but if you would enter into life, keep the commandments. he reply'd, which? Jesus said, "thou shalt do no murder, thou shalt not commit adultery, thou shalt not steal, thou shalt not bear false witness, read more.
honour thy father and thy mother: and, thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself." the young man answer'd, all these things have I practis'd from my youth: what is it that is further required? Jesus said, if thou wilt be perfect, go sell your estate, give the value to the poor, and you shall have treasure in heaven: then come and follow me. but when the young man heard that, he went away dejected: for he had great possessions.

When he was set out upon his journey, there met him one, who kneeling down before him, said, good master, what must I do to inherit eternal life? Jesus said to him, why do you call me good? there is but one, who is good, that is God. you know the commandments, "do not commit adultery, do not kill, do not steal, do not bear false witness, defraud not, honour your father, and mother." read more.
to which he answered, master, said he, all these precepts have I observed from my youth. then Jesus looking upon him with a favourable eye, said, there is one thing still to be done; go, sell all your estate, and give it to the poor, and you shall have treasure in heaven; then come, take up the cross, and follow me. but he was troubled at this answer, and went away very sorrowful, for he had a great estate.

Then a person of distinction ask'd him this question, good master, what must I do to inherit eternal life? Jesus replied, why do you call me good? there is but one who is good, that is God. you know the commandments, "do not commit adultery, do not kill, do not steal, do not bear false witness, honour thy father and mother." read more.
all these, said he, have I observ'd from my youth. upon hearing that, Jesus said to him, one thing you have yet to do: sell all you have, and give it to the poor, and you shall have treasure in heaven: then come, and follow me. upon hearing this he was very sad: for he had a large estate. Jesus perceiving him so very dejected, said, how difficult is it for those, who have riches, to enter into the kingdom of God!
