Matthew 19:17-19

New Testament for Everyone

¹⁷ “Why come to me with questions about what’s good?” retorted Jesus. “There is One who is good! If you want to enter into life, keep the commandments.”

¹⁸ “Which ones?” he asked.

“These ones,” Jesus answered: “ ‘don’t murder, don’t commit adultery, don’t steal, don’t tell lies under oath, ¹⁹ respect your father and mother,’ and ‘love your neighbor as yourself.’ ”
