This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
19. τί με λέγεις ἀγαθόν; According to St Matthew the question also ran, ‘Why askest thou me about the good?’ The emphasis is not on the me (for the form used is the enclitic με not ἐμὲ) but on good. Why do you give me this strange title which from your point of view is unwarrantable? Comp. Plato Phaed. 27, “to be a good man is impossible … God alone could have this honour.”
εἰ μὴ εἷς ὁ θεός. 1Jn 3:5.
