Jesus Counsels the Rich Young Ruler (Matthew 19: 16-30; Mark 10: 17-31): "Jesus said to him, “If you want to be perfect, go, sell what you have and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven; and come, follow Me.” But when the young man heard that saying, he went away sorrowful, for he had great possessions." - "Then Jesus, looking at him, loved him, and said to him, “One thing you lack: Go your way, sell whatever you have and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven; and come, take up the cross, and follow Me.” But he was sad at this word, and went away sorrowful, for he had great possessions." - from: Christ's Object Lessons, by Ellen G. White, 1900.

الشاب الغني (متى 19: 16-30؛ مرقس 10: 17-31): "قال له يسوع: «إن أردت أن تكون كاملا فاذهب وبع أملاكك وأعط الفقراء، فيكون لك كنز في السماء، وتعال اتبعني». فلما سمع الشاب الكلمة مضى حزينا، لأنه كان ذا أموال كثيرة" - "فنظر إليه يسوع وأحبه، وقال له: «يعوزك شيء واحد: اذهب بع كل ما لك وأعط الفقراء، فيكون لك كنز في السماء، وتعال اتبعني حاملا الصليب». فاغتم على القول ومضى حزينا، لأنه كان ذا أموال كثيرة" - من كتاب دروس المسيح الموضوعية، إلين ج. وايت، 1900 م.
