# Connecting Statement:
Here the scene shifts to a different time when Jesus explains to a rich man what it will cost to follow him.
# Behold
The word "behold" alerts us to a new person in the story. Your language may have a way of doing this.
# good thing
This means a thing that pleases God.
# Why do you ask me about what is good?
Jesus uses this question to encourage the man to think about who has the authority to say what is good. AT: "You ask me about what is good. Apparently you think that I have authority to tell you what is good." or "You ask me about what is good. Apparently you think that I am good and have authority to tell you what is good." (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-rquestion]])
# Only one is good
"God alone is completely good"
# to enter into life
"to receive eternal life"
