MATTHEW 19:20 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 0
“The young man saith unto him, All these things have I kept from my youth up: what lack I yet?”
The young man said to him: all these I have kept. What do I still lack? The young man's claim to have kept all the commandments is not necessarily false — he may genuinely have been morally observant. The what do I still lack communicates the earnestness of his seeking: he knows something is missing, even if he has kept the commandments. The lack he cannot identify is what the next verse will expose.
