Mark 10:17. On (lit., ‘into') the way. On His journey to Jerusalem, as He finally left Perea.

Good Master, what shell I do? Matthew: ‘Master, what good thing?' Both ideas were no doubt included in the original question, but in Matthew's narrative the one point (‘good thing') is taken up, in Mark and Luke the other (‘good master'). Both what was good, and who was good, had been misapprehended by the questioner.
