Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Luke 18:18
And a certain ruler asked him, saying, Good teacher, what shall I do to inherit eternal life?Geldenhuys was right in declaring that:Taken together (Matthew 19:16, and the verse before us) the complete question may have been: "Good Master, what good thing, etc." and Jesus may have replied, "Why callest thou me good and askest me about good things?" Thus the Gospels supplement one another. It is unwarranted in such cases to speak of a contradiction between them."[26]To such a comment, we are... read more

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Luke 18:19
And Jesus said unto him, Why callest thou me good? none is good, save one, even God.Hobbs caught the import of these verses perfectly:No pupil ever addressed a rabbi as "good." So the young man paid Jesus the supreme compliment; but he called him only a "teacher." Jesus reminded him that only God is good. Thus either he had used the term loosely, or else he must think of Jesus as more than a great Teacher. By subtle suggestion Jesus was leading him to think of him as deity, not simply as a... read more

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Luke 18:20
Thou knowest the commandments, Do not commit adultery, Do not kill, Do not steal, Do not bear false witness, Honor thy father and mother.Salvation was always, is now, and ever shall be dependent upon obedience to the commandments of God. Matthew explicitly stated this in his account, and Luke implies as much here. As Summers said, "Implicit in Jesus' answer is the meaning that to obey these commandments is to have eternal life ... This was good Jewish religious thinking."[28] In Summers' final... read more

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Luke 18:21
And he said, All these things have I observed from my youth up. And when Jesus heard it, he said unto him, One thing thou lackest yet: sell all that thou hast, and distribute unto the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven: and come, follow me.Matthew has the significant question of this young ruler, "What lack I yet?" And, since that is the question that Jesus here answered, we have another example of the supplementary nature of the Gospel accounts.Cox mentioned the "soul hunger" of this... read more

Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible - Luke 18:19
19. Why, c.—Did our Lord mean then to teach that God only ought to be called "good?" Impossible, for that had been to contradict all Scripture teaching, and His own, too (Psalms 112:5 Matthew 25:21; Titus 1:8). Unless therefore we are to ascribe captiousness to our Lord, He could have had but one object—to raise the youth's ideas of Himself, as not to be classed merely with other "good masters," and declining to receive this title apart from the "One" who is essentially and only "good." This... read more

Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible - Luke 18:20
20. Thou knowest, c.—Matthew (Matthew 19:17) is more complete here: "but if thou wilt enter into life, keep the commandments. He saith unto him, Which—as if he had said, Point me out one of them which I have not kept?—"Jesus said, Thou shalt," &c. (Matthew 19:17 Matthew 19:18). Our Lord purposely confines Himself to the second table, which He would consider easy to keep, enumerating them all—for in Mark (Mark 10:19), "Defraud not" stands for the tenth (else the eighth is twice repeated). In... read more

Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible - Luke 18:21
21. All these, c.—"what lack I yet?" adds Matthew ( :-). Ah! this gives us a glimpse of his heart. Doubtless he was perfectly sincere but something within whispered to him that his keeping of the commandments was too easy a way of getting to heaven. He felt something beyond this to be necessary; after keeping all the commandments he was at a loss to know what that could be; and he came to Jesus just upon that point. "Then," says Mark (Mark 10:21), "Jesus beholding him loved him," or "looked... read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Luke 18:9-27
J. The recipients of salvation 18:9-19:27Luke next developed the idea of faith on the earth that Jesus introduced in Luke 18:8. This whole section clarifies how people become believers. This subject is a fitting conclusion to the part of Luke’s Gospel that deals with Jesus’ ministry on the way to Jerusalem (Luke 9:51 to Luke 19:27). Essentially this section records Jesus’ teaching that salvation and eventual entrance into the kingdom come by God’s grace through faith rather than by claims to... read more
