Iesus said, Thou shalt do no murder, Thou shalt not commit adultery, Thou shalt not steale, Thou shalt not beare false witnesse, 19Honour thy father and thy mother: and, Thou shalt loue thy neighbour as thy selfe. 20The young man saith vnto him, All these things haue I kept from my youth vp: what lacke I yet? 21Iesus said vnto him, If thou wilt be perfect, goe and sell that thou hast, and giue to the poore, and thou shalt haue treasure in heauen: and come and follow me. 22But when the young man heard that saying, he went away sorrowfull: for he had great possessions.
