SEV Biblia, Chapter 18:22

Y Jes�s, oído esto, le dijo: A�n te falta una cosa: vende todo lo que tienes, y dalo a los pobres, y tendr�s tesoro en el cielo; y ven, sígueme.

John Gill's Bible Commentary

Ver. 22. Now when Jesus heard these things , etc.] That he had kept all these commandments, and that ever since he was a child, and to that very time: he said unto him, yet lackest thou one thing ; not but that he lacked many other things, and even every thing: for he had performed no one thing as it should be: but Christ said, partly in answer to his pert question, �what lack I yet?� and partly by an ironical concession, granting he had kept them all, as he had said, yet one thing was wanting; and chiefly with a view to mortify his pride and vanity: sell all that thou hast, and distribute unto the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven, and come and follow me ; (see Gill on � Matthew 19:21�).

Matthew Henry Commentary

Verses 18-30 - Many have a great deal in them very commendable, yet perish for lack of some one thing; so this ruler could not bear Christ's terms, whic would part between him and his estate. Many who are loth to leav Christ, yet do leave him. After a long struggle between their convictions and their corruptions, their corruptions carry the day They are very sorry that they cannot serve both; but if one must be quitted, it shall be their God, not their wordly gain. Their boaste obedience will be found mere outside show; the love of the world in some form or other lies at the root. Men are apt to speak too much of what they have left and lost, of what they have done and suffered for Christ, as Peter did. But we should rather be ashamed that there ha been any regret or difficulty in doing it.

Vincent's NT Word Studies

22. Yet lackest thou one thing (eti en soi leipei). Lit., still one thing is lacking to thee. Mark alone adds that Jesus, looking upon him, loved him.

Come (deuro). Lit., hither.

Robertson's NT Word Studies

18:22 {One thing thou lackest yet} (eti hen soi leipei). Literally, one thing still fails thee or is wanting to thee. An old verb with the dative of personal interest. #Mr 10:21 has here husterei se, which see. It was an amazing compliment for one who was aiming at perfection (#Mt 19:21). The youth evidently had great charm and was sincere in his claims. {Distribute} (diados). Second aorist active imperative of diadidwmi (give to various ones, dia-). Here Mark and Matthew simply have dos (give). The rest the same in all three Gospels.
