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 Matthew ( Matthew 19:19 ) the sum of this second table of the law is added, "Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself," as if to see if he would venture to say he had kept that. return to ' Top of Page ' <a name="verse-21" class="com-number"
