Do not commit adultery. Do not steal. Do not be a false witness. Do not cheat. Honor your father and mother.’ ”( Exodus 20:12–16; Deuteronomy 5:16–20)“ Teacher,” he said,“ I have obeyed all those commandments since I was a boy.”Jesus looked at him and loved him.“ You are missing one thing,” he said.“ Go and sell everything you have. Give the money to those who are poor. You will have treasure in heaven. Then come and follow me.”The man’s face fell. He went away sad, because he was very rich.
