The Rich Young Man

17 u And as he was setting out on his journey, a man ran up and v knelt before him and asked him, "Good Teacher, what must I do to w inherit eternal life?" 18 And Jesus said to him, "Why do you call me good? No one is good except God alone. 19 You know the commandments: x 'Do not murder, Do not commit adultery, Do not steal, Do not bear false witness, Do not defraud, Honor your father and mother.'" 20 And he said to him, "Teacher, y all these I have kept from my youth." 21 And Jesus, z looking at him, a loved him, and said to him, "You lack one thing: go, b sell all that you have and give to the poor, and you will have c treasure in heaven; and come, follow me." 22 d Disheartened by the saying, he went away sorrowful, for he had great possessions.
