{Ruler} (arch(936e)). Not in  Mr 10:17  Mt 19:16 . {What
shall I do to inherit?} (Ti poi(8873)as kl(8872)onom(8873)(933b)). "By doing
what shall I inherit?" Aorist active participle and future active
indicative. Precisely the same question is asked by the lawyer in
 Lu 10:25 . This young man probably thought that by some one act
he could obtain eternal life. He was ready to make a large
expenditure for it. {Good} (agathon). See on 烘r 10:17; Mt
19:16| for discussion of this adjective for absolute goodness.
Plummer observes that no Jewish rabbi was called "good" in direct
address. The question of Jesus will show whether it was merely
fulsome flattery on the part of the young man or whether he
really put Jesus on a par with God. He must at any rate define
his attitude towards Christ.
