Matthew 19:16-22

Just then, a man came up to Jesus. He asked, “Teacher, what good thing must I do to receive eternal life?” “Why do you ask me about what is good?” Jesus replied. “There is only one who is good. If you want to enter the kingdom, obey the commandments.” “Which ones?” the man asked. Jesus said, “ ‘Do not murder. Do not commit adultery. Do not steal. Do not be a false witness. Honor your father and mother.’ And ‘love your neighbor as you love yourself.’ ” “I have obeyed all those commandments,” the young man said. “What else do I need to do?” Jesus answered, “If you want to be perfect, go and sell everything you have. Give the money to those who are poor. You will have treasure in heaven. Then come and follow me.” When the young man heard this, he went away sad. He was very rich.
