As he was setting out on a journey, a man ran up and knelt before him, and asked him, “Good Teacher, what must I do to

inherit eternal life?” Jesus said to him, “Why do you call me good? No one is good but God alone. You know the command-

ments: ‘You shall not murder; You shall not commit adultery; You shall not steal; You shall not bear false witness; You shall

not defraud; Honor your father and mother.’” He said to him, “Teacher, I have kept all these since my youth.” Jesus, look-

ing at him, loved him and said, “You lack one thing; go, sell what you own, and give the money to the poor, and you will

have treasure in heaven; then come, follow me.” Mark 10:17-21
