Jesus and the rich young man (also called Jesus and the rich ruler) is an episode in the life of Jesus in the New Testament that deals with ''eternal life''〔''Matthew for Everyone: Chapters 16-28'' by Tom Wright 2004 ISBN 0-664-22787-2 page 47〕〔''The Bible Exposition Commentary: New Testament: Volume 1'' by Warren W. Wiersbe 2003 ISBN 1-56476-030-8 page 251〕 and the World to Come. It appears in the Gospel of Matthew , the Gospel of Mark and the Gospel of Luke . It relates to the Evangelical counsels of chastity, poverty and obedience. In Matthew, a rich young man asks Jesus what actions bring ''eternal life''. First Jesus advises the man to obey the commandments. When the man responds that he already observes them, and asks what else he can do, Jesus adds:
Luke has a similar episode and states that:
The disciples then ask Jesus who then can be saved, and Jesus replies: "What is impossible with men is possible with God." This parable relates the term ''eternal life'' to entry into the Kingdom of God.〔''Matthew'' by David L. Turner 2008 ISBN 0-8010-2684-9 page 473〕 The parable starts by a question to Jesus about "eternal life" and Jesus then refers to entry into the "Kingdom of God" in the same context.〔〔''The Westminster theological wordbook of the Bible'' by Donald E. Gowan 2003 ISBN 0-664-22394-X pages 296–298〕 To avoid conflict with the Christian doctrine that states that salvation is "by grace through faith" () dispensational theologians distinguish between the Gospel of the Kingdom, which is being taught here, and the Gospel of Grace, which is taught in churches today. 〔(A Contrast of Character | Zacchaeus and the Rich Young Ruler )〕 The Rich young man was the context in which Pope John Paul II brought out the Christian moral law in chapter 1 of Veritatis Splendor.〔(Veritatis Splendor, Official English Text )〕 ==See also== * Christian views on poverty and wealth * Eternal life * Evangelical counsels * Eye of a needle * Gospel harmony * Jesuism * Simple living * With God, all things are possible 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Jesus and the rich young man」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
