MATTHEW 19:16 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 0
“And, behold, one came and said unto him, Good Master, what good thing shall I do, that I may have eternal life?”
And behold, a young man came up to him, saying: teacher, what good deed must I do to have eternal life? The rich young man's question — what good deed must I do — frames eternal life as the product of a specific deed. The deed-framework for eternal life is the framework that Jesus will transform in his response. The young man's earnestness is genuine; his framework is insufficient.
