GOSPEL 

"If you want to be perfect, go, sell what you have, give it to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven" 

Gospel of Jesus Christ according to Saint Matthew 19, 16-22 

At that time,

    behold , someone came up to Jesus and said to him,

“Master, what good must I do

to have eternal life? "

    Jesus said,

" Why do you ask me about what is good?

He who is good is God, and he alone!

If you want to enter life,

keep the commandments. "

    He said to her:

" Which ones? "

Jesus replied,

" Do not commit murder.

You will not commit adultery.

You will not steal.

You will not bear false witness.

    Honor your father and your mother.

And also:

You will love your neighbor as yourself. "

    The young man said to him:

“I have observed all this:

what do I still lack?

    Jesus answered him,

“If you want to be perfect,

go, sell what you have,

give it to the poor,

and you will have treasure in heaven.

Then come follow me. " 

    At these words, the young man went away very sad,

for he had great possessions.
