SEV Biblia, Chapter 18:19

Y Jes�s le dijo: ¿Por qu� me llamas bueno? Ninguno hay bueno sino s�lo Dios.

John Gill's Bible Commentary

Ver. 19. And Jesus said unto him , etc.] In answer to his question, beginning with the character he gave him: why callest thou me good ? it being unusual to address men, even their Rabbins, under such a title: none is good, save one, [that is], God : or �but God alone�; as the Vulgate Latin and Arabic versions render it; or, �but the one God�, as read the Syriac, Persic, and Ethiopic versions; (see Gill on � Matthew 19:17�).

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.
