The Rich Young Ruler

17 As He was setting out on a journey , a man ran up to Him and knelt before Him, and asked Him, "Good Teacher , what shall I do to inherit eternal life ?"

Matthew Henry's Commentary on Mark 10:17

Commentary on Mark 10:17-22

(Read Mark 10:17-22)

This young ruler showed great earnestness. He asked what he should do now, that he might be happy for ever. Most ask for good to be had in this world; any good, Matthew 6:24, Ye cannot serve God and mammon.
