The Rich Official. 18 (A)An official asked him this question, “Good teacher, what must I do to inherit eternal life?”(B) 19 Jesus answered him, “Why do you call me good? No one is good but God alone. 20 You know the commandments, ‘You shall not commit adultery; you shall not kill; you shall not steal; you shall not bear false witness; honor your father and your mother.’”(C) 21 And he replied, “All of these I have observed from my youth.” 22 [a](D)When Jesus heard this he said to him, “There is still one thing left for you: sell all that you have and distribute it to the poor, and you will have a treasure in heaven. Then come, follow me.” 23 But when he heard this he became quite sad, for he was very rich.
