18 “Why do you call Me good?” Jesus replied. “No one is good except God alone.

19 You know the commandments: ‘Do not murder, do not commit adultery, do not steal, do not bear false witness, do not cheat others, honor your father and mother.’”

20 “Teacher,” he replied, “all these I have kept from my youth.”
