Matthew 19:16-22

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

¹⁶ And behold one came and said to him: Good master, what good shall I do that I may have life everlasting?

¹⁷ Who said to him: Why asketh thou me concerning good? One is good, God. But if thou wilt enter into life, keep the commandments.

¹⁸ He said to him: Which? And Jesus said: Thou shalt do no murder, Thou shalt not commit adultery, Thou shalt not steal, Thou shalt not bear false witness.

¹⁹ Honour thy father and thy mother: and, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.

²⁰ The young man saith to him: All these I have kept from my youth, what is yet wanting to me?

²¹ Jesus saith to him: If thou wilt be perfect, go sell what thou hast, and give to the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven: and come follow me.

²² And when the young man had heard this word, he went away sad: for he had great possessions.
