Jamieson-Fausset-Brown on Luke 18:23
COM commentary-section · status:draft · license:PD
23-25. was very sorrowful —Matthew ( Matthew 19:22 ) more fully, " went away sorrowful"; Mark still more, "was sad" or "sullen" at that saying, and "went away grieved." Sorry he was, very sorry, to part with Christ; but to part with his riches would have cost him a pang more. When Riches or Heaven, on Christ's terms, were the alternative, the result showed to which side the balance inclined. Thus was he shown to lack the one all-comprehensive requirement of the law—the absolute subjection of the heart to God, and this want vitiated all his other obediences. return to ' Top of Page ' <a name="verse-24" class="com-number"
