NET © Notes

tn Grk “And Jesus.” Here καί (kai) has not been translated because of differences between Greek and English style.

sn Jesus’ response, Why do you call me good?, was designed to cause the ruler to stop and think for a moment about who Jesus really was. The following statement No one is good except God alone seems to point the man in the direction of Jesus’ essential nature and the demands which logically follow on the man for having said it.
