(18)And a certain ruler asked him, saying: Good Teacher, what shall I
do to inherit eternal life? (19)And Jesus said to him: Why dost thou
call me good? None is good save one, God. (20)Thou knowest the
commandments: Do not commit adultery, Do not kill, Do not steal, Do
not bear false witness, Honor thy father and thy mother. (21)And he
said: All these I kept from my youth. (22)And Jesus hearing it said to
him: Yet lackest thou one thing; sell all that thou hast, and
distribute to the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven; and
come, follow me. (23)And hearing this, he became very sorrowful; for
he was exceedingly rich. (24)And Jesus seeing him became very
sorrowful, said: How hardly shall they that have riches enter into the

they will scourge him, and put him to death; and on the third day he
will rise again. (34)And they understood none of these things; and
this saying was hidden from them, and they knew not the things that
