Luke 9:59-61

J.B. Phillips New Testament

⁵⁹ But he said to another man, “Follow me.” And he replied, “Let me go and bury my father first.”

⁶⁰ But Jesus told him, “Leave the dead to bury their own dead. You must come away and preach the kingdom of God.”

⁶¹ Another man said to him, “I am going to follow you, Lord, but first let me bid farewell to my people at home.”
