The question posed by the rich young ruler reflects a common Jewish understanding of the law during the time of Jesus. The Jewish people were familiar with the Ten Commandments and the broader Mosaic Law, which included 613 commandments. The young man's inquiry suggests a desire to know which specific commandments were necessary for eternal life, indicating a mindset focused on legalistic adherence rather than the spirit of the law. This question also reveals a cultural context where religious leaders often debated the weight and importance of different commandments. Jesus answered, “Do not murder, do not commit adultery, do not steal, do not bear false witness, Persons / Places / Events 1. JesusThe central figure in this passage, Jesus is responding to a question about which commandments are necessary for eternal life. His response highlights the moral law. 2. The Rich Young Man This individual approaches Jesus with a question about eternal life, demonstrating a desire to understand and follow God's commandments. 3. The Commandments Jesus lists specific commandments from the Decalogue (Ten Commandments), emphasizing moral and ethical behavior. 4. The Setting This conversation takes place during Jesus' ministry in Judea, as He teaches about the Kingdom of Heaven and the requirements for entering it. Teaching Points Moral IntegrityJesus emphasizes the importance of adhering to God's moral law. As believers, we are called to live lives of integrity, reflecting God's holiness in our actions. Heart of the Law While Jesus lists specific commandments, His teaching points to the heart behind the law—love for God and neighbor. Our obedience should stem from a heart transformed by God's love. Practical Righteousness The commandments Jesus mentions are practical and relational. They guide us in our interactions with others, promoting justice, honesty, and respect. Self-Examination This passage invites us to examine our own lives in light of God's commandments. Are there areas where we fall short? How can we seek God's help in living righteously? Eternal Perspective The rich young man's question about eternal life reminds us to keep our focus on eternity. Our obedience to God's commandments is part of our preparation for eternal life with Him.(18) He saith unto him, Which?--Literally, of what kind? The questioner has been trained in the language of the schools, has heard debates as to which was the great commandment of the Law (22:36). Which class of commandments is he to keep that he may win eternal life? Thou shalt do no murder.--Our Lord's answer was clearly determined by the method of which we have ventured to speak as calling up the thought of that of Socrates. To a questioner of another type of character He would have pointed (as in Matthew 22:37) to the two great commandments, the love of God, and the love of man, on which hung all the Law and the Prophets. Here it was more in harmony with His loving purpose to leave out of sight altogether the commandments of the first table, that tell men of their duty towards God, and to direct attention only to those which, as speaking of our duty to our neighbour, were thought common and familiar things. The change in the order of the commandments, so that the Fifth follows those which in the Decalogue it precedes, seems to imply a design to lead the seeker through the negative to the positive forms of law, through definite prohibitions of single acts to the commandments which were "exceeding broad," as fulfilled only in the undefined region of the affections. Verse 18. - Which (ποίας)? Christ's answer was disappointing to the inquirer; it was too vague and general to satisfy his thought. He expected to hear (as the rabbis taught) of some special precept or precepts, difficult of accomplishment, and not usually regarded, by observance of which he could obtain his great reward. So he asks with laudable persistence, "Of what sort are these commandments which I have to obey?" He is far from thinking of the common duties of the Decalogue, though doubtless he had been taught that these varied greatly in meritoriousness. Christ, in reply, notifies, as examples, the chief enactments of what we call the second table of the Decalogue, quoting the sixth, seventh,eighth, ninth, and fifth. He enunciates nothing uncommon, nothing new; and, by prefixing the definite article τὸ to the enumeration, he makes the whole a substantial unity, comprising the moral law of duty to one's neighbour. Perhaps Christ confines his list to the second table in order to make the man feel his imperfection in these ordinary matters, or to bring out his self-righteous spirit. There could be no doubt that infringement of the first table involved the loss of eternal life. Ver. 17 virtually includes the spirit of this table. It was round these last six commandments chiefly that rabbinical traditions and interpretations had gathered, so that their plain meaning was obscured or depraved. Whoever observed the second table in spirit and truth, kept also the first (Romans 13:9, 10); and it is easier to love one's neighbour than to love God, as the apostle witnesses (see 1 John 4:20); and without love of our neighbour there cannot be true love of God.Parallel Commentaries ...
