Jesus said "Why do you call me good?" | Mark vs Matthew | Dr. Tabor
Mark 10:17-31
New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition
The Rich Man

17 As he was setting out on a journey, a man ran up and knelt before him and asked him, “Good Teacher, what must I do to inherit eternal life?” 18 Jesus said to him, “Why do you call me good? No one is good but God alone. 19 You know the commandments: ‘You shall not murder. You shall not commit adultery. You shall not steal. You shall not bear false witness. You shall not defraud. Honor your father and mother.’ ” 20 He said to him, “Teacher, I have kept all these since my youth.” 21 Jesus, looking at him, loved him and said, “You lack one thing; go, sell what you own, and give the money[a] to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven; then come, follow me.” 22 When he heard this, he was shocked and went away grieving, for he had many possessions.

23 Then Jesus looked around and said to his disciples, “How hard it will be for those who have wealth to enter the kingdom of God!” 24 And the disciples were perplexed at these words. But Jesus said to them again, “Children, how hard it is[b] to enter the kingdom of God! 25 It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for someone who is rich to enter the kingdom of God.” 26 They were greatly astounded and said to one another,[c] “Then who can be saved?” 27 Jesus looked at them and said, “For mortals it is impossible, but not for God; for God all things are possible.”

What! Jesus was without sin. He was baptised for the fulfillment of righteousness.

[dandugo]

Jesus was not baptized for His sins and that shows you don't know what you're talking about.

[StephenChavez-ucub]

By that statement he's revealing himself as God but allowing the person to recognize that they subconsciously recognized him as God

[johnv]

Jesus is asking a question not making a statement. He never denies it.

[lancefulmer]

Another person without the Holy ghost unable to rightly divide the word of God.

[jont]

If you are correct why did he say there is none good but God? Was that syllogism too, no he was comparing God's goodness to his own a separate entity the one who he prayd too

Behold the man has become LIKE ONE OF US...pretty clear to me bud...Genesis 3 22 choice is ours serpent

[Cherubim._.]

Gen 3 22....we are all gods....who have been curse

[M_h_m_d]

This is really Islamic. Why would Muhammad (upon whom be peace) claim that Jesus didnt claim divinity which would be deemed as an impossible claim by both Jews and Christians?

[johnnydubya]

Better yet, there is no god so believe in yourself no one is coming to help

[asaphsarmy]

I think the point Jesus was making is: Why do you call ME good? Are you acknowledging that I'm God?
