Matthew 19:20

"‘Honor your father and your mother.’ And, ‘You shall love your neighbor as yourself.’”"

Key Reflection

These commands encapsulate the essence of moral and familial duty, emphasizing that honoring parents and loving neighbors reflect one's commitment to God’s law. Both teachings underscore the importance of relational integrity and self-sacrifice in living a righteous life.

From the Scholars: Barnes' Notes

Verse 20. All these, etc. I have made these the rule of my life. I have endeavoured to obey them. Is there anything that I lack--any new commandments to be kept ? Do you, the Messiah, teach any new commands, besides those which I have learned from the law, and from the Jewish teachers, which it is proper for me to obey, in order to be saved? __________________________________________________________________
