The rich young man

Saint Matthew - Chapter 19

The rich young man who went away sorrowful. J-J Tissot

[16] Et ecce unus accedens, ait illi : Magister bone, quid boni faciam ut habeam vitam aeternam?
And behold one came and said to him: Good master, what good shall I do that I may have life everlasting?

[17] Qui dixit ei : Quid me interrogas de bono? Unus est bonus, Deus. Si autem vis ad vitam ingredi, serva mandata.
Who said to him: Why asketh thou me concerning good? One is good, God. But if thou wilt enter into life, keep the commandments.

[18] Dicit illi : Quae? Jesus autem dixit : Non homicidium facies; non adulterabis; non facies furtum; non falsum testimonium dices;
He said to him: Which? And Jesus said: Thou shalt do no murder, Thou shalt not commit adultery, Thou shalt not steal, Thou shalt not bear false witness.

[19] honora patrem tuum, et matrem tuam, et diliges proximum tuum sicut teipsum.
Honour thy father and thy mother: and, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.

[20] Dicit illi adolescens : Omnia haec custodivi a juventute mea : quid adhuc mihi deest?
The young man saith to him: All these I have kept from my youth, what is yet wanting to me?

[21] Ait illi Jesus : Si vis perfectus esse, vade, vende quae habes, et da pauperibus, et habebis thesaurum in caelo : et veni, sequere me.
Jesus saith to him: If thou wilt be perfect, go sell what thou hast, and give to the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven: and come follow me.

[22] Cum audisset autem adolescens verbum, abiit tristis : erat enim habens multas possessiones.
And when the young man had heard this word, he went away sad: for he had great possessions.

Totus tuus ego sum 

Et omnia mea tua sunt;

Tecum semper tutus sum:
Ad Jesum per Mariam
