Context of Mark 10:19
17As Jesus was starting out on his way to Jerusalem, a man came running up to him, knelt down, and asked, “Good Teacher, what must I do to inherit eternal life?” 18“Why do you call me good?” Jesus asked. “Only God is truly good. But to answer your question, you know the commandments: ‘You must not murder. You must not commit adultery. You must not steal. You must not testify falsely. You must not cheat anyone. Honor your father and mother.’” 20“Teacher,” the man replied, “I’ve obeyed all these commandments since I was young.” 21Looking at the man, Jesus felt genuine love for him. “There is still one thing you haven’t done,” he told him. “Go and sell all your possessions and give the money to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven. Then come, follow me.”

Into the way - Into the road or path on his journey. Running - Thus showing the intensity with which he desired to know the way of life.

- Matthew Henry Concise Commentary · v. 17-22Verses 17-22 This young ruler showed great earnestness. He asked what he should do now, that he might be happy for ever. Most ask for good to be had in this world; any good, Psa 4:6; he asks for good to be done in this world, in order to enjoy the greatest good in the other world. Christ encouraged this address by assisting his faith, and by directing his practice. But here is a sorrowful parting between Jesus and this young man. He asks Christ what he…Read the comment
- Tyndale Open Study Notes · v. 19This reply may sound strange to Christians who know Paul’s teaching on this subject (for example, Romans 3:20; Galatians 2:16). In naming five of the Ten Commandments, Jesus was not implying that the man could earn eternal life by keeping them.

To truly love God with all our heart, soul, mind, and strength, and to love our neighbor as ourselves (Mark 12:30–31)…Read the comment
