Matthew 19:17
17 And he said unto him,Why callest thou me good? there is none good but one, that is, God: but if thou wilt enter into life, keep the commandments.
Mat. 19:17. "And He said unto him, Why callest thou Me good? There is none good but one, that is, God: but if thou wilt enter into life, keep the commandments." Probably Christ, who knew what was in man, saw that this young man, though he had no notion of Christ's being a Divine person, and thought Him but a mere man, yet, thinking Him a prophet, came to Him, trusting in Him for eternal life in a manner that no mere man is to be trusted on, which is the reason why He says to him, "Why callest thou Me good? There is none good but one, that is, God" - i.e., there is none else who had a goodness that is to be depended upon but God. For Christ does not find fault simply with any man's being called 'good,' for He, using the same word, calls some men good, Himself, as Matthew 12:35; so Luke 19:17.
