And He was Good wasnt He. So why did He say that ? It almost sounds like He is saying he is not Good. The man said to him" Good sir"which was our description of the first Jahovah witness whom dont believe in the diety of Christ. He refuted the man because the man had no idea who he was dealing with. He is not just a Man but almighty God.

Luke 18:18-20 (New International Version)

The Rich Ruler18A certain ruler asked him, "Good teacher, what must I do to inherit eternal life?"

19"Why do you call me good?" Jesus answered. "No one is good-except God alone. 20You know the commandments: 'Do not commit adultery, do not murder, do not steal, do not give false testimony, honor your father and mother.'[a]"
