The article begins with a nontraditional exegetical interpretation of Mark 10, 17-31 in which there exist two paths in the life of man. The first is the path of the commandments, which is for regular mortals, that is, those who are satisfied with fulfilling the minimum. The second is the path of evangelical rules for those, who wish to follow this path because they want something more. These are the people who enter into religious orders. In the analysis of Mark 10, 17-31, the author of the articles looks at the sitz in Leben of the early Church. He follows the thought of C. M. Martini, who sees in the gospel of Mark catechumenal context.
