18:18-30 The story of the rich religious leader warns against trusting in riches rather than pledging complete allegiance to God.
Rich and Poor in the Gospel of Luke
Throughout Luke’s Gospel, a reversal of worldly fortunes characterizes entrance into, or exclusion from, the Kingdom of God. Mary announced that God would lift up the poor and humble and bring down the rich and powerful (1:52-53). Jesus announced at Nazareth that the gospel is “Good News to the poor” (4:18). He pronounced blessings on the poor and hungry, and woes against the rich and satisfied (6:20-26). This was a reversal of conventional wisdom, which held that God had blessed the rich and cursed the poor.
A number of Jesus’ parables severely warn against the danger of riches. The parable of the rich fool (12:13-21) reveals the consequence of storing up treasures on earth instead of having a rich relationship with God. The parable of the rich man and Lazarus (16:19-31) shows the eternal cost of ignoring the poor and helpless while enjoying the good things in life. The rich man who asked Jesus the way to eternal life was devastated when Jesus said he must sell all that he had and give to the poor (18:18-23).
Who are the poor in Luke’s Gospel? Are they the physically poor or those that are poor in spirit (cp. Matt 5:3)? Almost certainly it is both. The physically poor, who have very little, are naturally dependent on God for their needs. The rich and powerful are likely to be self-sufficient, forgetting their need for God. It is impossible for rich people to enter God’s Kingdom as long as they trust in their riches to get them there (16:25-26). God accepts those who put their faith in him alone.

ἀμὴν, λέγω ὑμῖν
truly ˱I˲_/am/_saying ˱to˲_you_all
Jesus says this to emphasize the importance of what he is about to say. Alternate translation: [I can assure you]
Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / doublenegatives
οὐδείς ἐστιν ὃς ἀφῆκεν
no_one ˱there˲_is who left
A double negative statement begins in this verse and concludes in the next verse. If it would be helpful in your language, you could translate the entire double negative statement as a positive statement. Alternate translation, beginning here: “anyone who has left”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns
εἵνεκεν τῆς Βασιλείας τοῦ Θεοῦ
on_account the Kingdom ¬the ˱of˲_God
See how you decided to translate the phrase the kingdom of God in 4:43. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express the idea behind the abstract noun kingdom with a verb such as “rule.” Alternate translation: [in order to allow God to rule over his life]
