Matthew 19:16
Behold, one came and said. Compare Mark 10:17-27 Lu 18:18-30.
We learn that (1) he was a young man (Matthew 19:20); (2) he was a
ruler, probably of a synagogue, although these were usually elderly
(Luke 18:18); (3) he was rich, which probably accounts for his
holding office, at an unusual age (Matthew 19:22); (4) he came running
to Jesus and kneeled to him (Mark 10:17).
Good Master, what good thing shall I do, that I may have eternal
life? Whether he had before heard Christ or not, he had learned
that eternal life belonged to heirs, the heirs of God, his children,
and had to be inherited.
