| NET © Notes |
1 tn The words “the money” are not in the Greek text, but are implied. Direct objects were often omitted in Greek when clear from the context. 2 sn The call for sacrifice comes with a promise of eternal reward: You will have treasure in heaven. Jesus’ call is a test to see how responsive the man is to God’s direction through him. Will he walk the path God’s agent calls him to walk? For a rich person who got it right, see Zacchaeus in Luke 19:1-10. |
