Mark 10:20 - Exposition

Master, all those things have I observed from my youth ( ἐφυλαξὰμην ) literally, I kept , I guarded. St. Matthew adds here ( Matthew 19:20 ). He "What lack I yet?"—"What is still wanting in me, that I may inherit the life to come in its fullness of glory and bliss? You seem, good Master, as a heavenly Teacher, to set forth a higher and more excellent way than that pointed out by our scribes and Pharisees. Tell me what that way is. Tell me what! still lack; for I earnestly desire to go forward in the right way that leadeth to everlasting life."
