but one thing is needed. Mary has chosen the good part, which will not be taken away from her."

When Jesus heard these things, he said to him, "You still lack one thing. Sell all that you have, and distribute it to the poor. You will have treasure in heaven. Come, follow me."

They began to question among themselves, which of them it was who would do this thing.
