Luke 9:59-61

The Voice

⁵⁹ You (to another person)—I want you to follow Me!

Another Volunteer: I’d be glad to, Teacher, but let me first attend to my father’s funeral.

Jesus: ⁶⁰ Let the dead bury their dead. I’m giving you a different calling—to go and proclaim the kingdom of God.

A Third Volunteer: ⁶¹ I’ll come, Jesus. I’ll follow You. But just let me first run home to say good-bye to my family.
