LUKE 18:23 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 0
“And when he heard this, he was very sorrowful: for he was very rich.”
When he heard this, he became very sad, because he was very wealthy — became very sad (perilypos egeneto, extremely sorrowful): the sadness is genuine grief — the ruler understands the requirement and cannot meet it. Because he was very wealthy: Luke's explanation of the sadness — the wealth is the obstacle.
