Heres what I think;
Mark 10:17 ¶ And when he was gone forth into the way, there came one running, and kneeled to him, and asked him, Good Master, what shall I do that I may inherit eternal life?
:18 And Jesus said unto him, Why callest thou me good? [there is] none good but one, [that is], God.
1. He ran and kneeled before him, so was the Young Ruler making a public Display? 2. he call Jesus good.And asked "what must { I } do. Jesus replied why do you call me good there is none good but God. So was he trying to establish that "ALL" mankind need a Savior, not there own merit....next..
19.Thou knowest the commandments, Do not commit adultery, Do not kill, Do not steal, Do not bear false witness, Defraud not, Honour thy father and mother.
20 And he answered and said unto him, Master, all these have I observed from my youth.
1. why did Jesus only mention these commandments? could they be the ones the Young Ruler broke? 2. wait till I finish to answer I ran out of space.
