Mark 10:18-22 Common English Bible (CEB)

18. Jesus replied, "Why do you call me good? No one is good except the one God.

19. You know the commandments: Don’t commit murder. Don’t commit adultery. Don’t steal. Don’t give false testimony. Don’t cheat. Honor your father and mother."

20. "Teacher," he responded, "I’ve kept all of these things since I was a boy."

21. Jesus looked at him carefully and loved him. He said, "You are lacking one thing. Go, sell what you own, and give the money to the poor. Then you will have treasure in heaven. And come, follow me."

22. But the man was dismayed at this statement and went away saddened, because he had many possessions.
