馬太福音 19:20

20 那 少 年 人 說 ： 這 一 切 我 都 遵 守 了 ， 還 缺 少 甚 麼 呢 ？

馬太福音 19:20 Meaning and Commentary

Matthew 19:20

The young man saith unto him
For though he was so very rich and in such an exalted station in life, as to be a ruler, it seems he was but a young man; and to be so early serious and religious, amidst so much riches and grandeur, though it was but externally, was both remarkable and commendable: upon hearing the answer of Christ, with which he was highly pleased and greatly elated, he very pertly replies,

all these things have I kept from my youth up:
as soon as he was capable of learning, his parents taught him these precepts; and ever since he had the use of his reason, and understood the letter, and outward meaning of them, he had been careful to observe them; nor could he charge himself with any open and flagrant transgression of them; not understanding the internal sense, extensive compass, and spirituality of them; and therefore asks,

what lack I yet?
In what am I deficient hitherto? in what have I come short of doing these things? what remains at last to be performed? what other precepts are to be obeyed? if there are any other commands, I am ready to observe them, which may be thought necessary to obtain eternal life.

馬太福音 19:20 In-Context

18 他 說 ： 甚 麼 誡 命 ？ 耶 穌 說 ： 就 是 不 可 殺 人 ； 不 可 姦 淫 ； 不 可 偷 盜 ； 不 可 作 假 見 證 ；

19 當 孝 敬 父 母 ， 又 當 愛 人 如 己 。

20 那 少 年 人 說 ： 這 一 切 我 都 遵 守 了 ， 還 缺 少 甚 麼 呢 ？

21 耶 穌 說 ： 你 若 願 意 作 完 全 人 ， 可 去 變 賣 你 所 有 的 ， 分 給 窮 人 ， 就 必 有 財 寶 在 天 上 ； 你 還 要 來 跟 從 我 。

22 那 少 年 人 聽 見 這 話 ， 就 憂 憂 愁 愁 的 走 了 ， 因 為 他 的 產 業 很 多 。
