Mark 10:17-19
Lexham English Bible
A Rich Young Man
17 And as[a] he was setting out on his way, one individual ran up and knelt down before him and[b] asked him, “Good Teacher, what must I do so that I will inherit eternal life?” 18 So Jesus said to him, “Why do you call me good? No one is good except God alone. 19 You know the commandments: ‘Do not murder, do not commit adultery, do not steal, do not give false testimony, do not defraud, honor your father and mother.’”[c]
