21<\/strong>. All these have I kept<\/em> ] There seems to have been an accent of extreme surprise in his reply. ‘You bid me not be a thief, adulterer, murderer! For whom do you take me? I am no criminal. These<\/em> I kept since I was a child.’ And then he added, ‘what lack I yet?’ (Mat 19:20<\/span>). Here, again, the Gospel is true to the letter in its picture of a Pharisaic Rabbi. Thus the Talmud describes one of the classes of Pharisees as the tell-me-something-more-to-do-and-I-will-do-it Pharisee; and when R. Chaninah was dying he said to the Angel of Death, “Go and fetch me the Book of the Law, and see whether there is anything in it which I have not kept.”<\/p>\n 21. All these,<\/B> c.”whatlack I yet?” adds Matthew (Mt19:20<\/span>). Ah! this gives us a glimpse of his heart. Doubtless hewas perfectly sincere but something within whispered to him that his<\/I>keeping of the commandments was too easy<\/I> a way of getting toheaven. He felt something beyond this to be necessary; after keepingall the commandments he was at a loss to know what that could be; andhe came to Jesus just upon that point. “Then,” says Mark(Mr 10:21<\/span>), “Jesusbeholding him loved him,” or “looked lovingly upon him.”His sincerity, frankness, and nearness to the kingdom of God, inthemselves most winning qualities, won our Lord’s regard even thoughhe turned his back upon Hima lesson to those who can see nothinglovable save in the regenerate.<\/P><\/p>\n And he said<\/strong>,…. That is, the ruler said to him, as the Syriac and Ethiopic versions add; “to Jesus”, as the Persic version expresses it;<\/p>\n all these have I kept from my youth up<\/strong>; [See comments on Mt 19:20]<\/span> where it is added, what lack I yet?<\/p>\n <\/strong><\/p>\n 1) “And he said,” <\/strong>(ho de eipen) “Then he responded,” to Jesus with a sense of self-righteous pride.<\/p>\n 2) “All these have I kept,” <\/strong>(tauta panta ephulaksa) “All these things, I kept,” or guarded, with moral and ethical respect, as taught by my school master, Gal 3:24<\/span>; Mat 19:10<\/span>; Mar 10:20<\/span>. And Matthew adds his question, “what lack I yet,” indicating he knew doing the commandments wasn’t enough.<\/p>\n 3) “From my youth up.” <\/strong>(ek neoteos) “Out of and from my youth,” even until now, apparently sincere in thinking that he was telling the truth, though he wasn’t; As his later covetousness became evident, Luk 18:23<\/span>; Exo 20:17<\/span>; Php_3:6-7.<\/p>\n (21) From my youth up.<\/strong>The detail may be noted as a point in common with St. Mark, as also is the omission of the question, What lack I yet? given in St. Matthew.<\/p>\n ‘And he said, “All these things have I observed from my youth up.”<\/p>\n The ruler recognises that Jesus’ reply is not really answering his question, but confirms that from his youth he has kept them all. It is really a polite reply saying, ‘well I know that, but it is not enough’. He is saying by this that he is looking for something more. And by it he is confirming that he really has sought to please God and follow His commandments, but that he is still aware of something missing. He would certainly have felt that up to now he had learned nothing worthwhile from Jesus, but he was also probably expecting the prophet to go deeper. After all, that was why you went to a prophet.<\/p>\n 21 And he said, All these have I kept from my youth up. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n <\/strong><\/p>\n Ver. 21.

An external obedience to the letter of the law this man might have possibly performed; this made him think well of himself, and conclude the goodness of his own condition. <\/p>\n Learn hence, how prone men are to think the best of themselves, and to have too high an opinion of their own goodness and righteousness before God; this is very natural, but dangerous and fatal.<\/p>\n 18:21 {7} And he said, All these have I kept from my youth up.<\/p>\n (7) The enticement of riches carries many away from the right way.<\/p>\n And he said, All these have I kept from my youth up. 21.
