Here Jesus is questioning why the man called him good, when the only one worthy of this title is God. If he was claiming to be God, he would have accepted this attribution without question.


ok...two posts:

Jesus was merely saying that he is currently in flesh. Later on, Jesus ascended to the right hand of God after his ressurection. Jesus only stated that he was not good because of himself being of flesh at the time, Jesus was born into sin, meaning he was born as a human being and after the whole deal with adam and eve man's nature has been sin, but Jesus never COMMITED sin. Therefore, by being born into sin on this earth he could not be called "good" when compared to God while being here.
