Berean Standard Bible
“But Jesus told him, “Follow Me, and let the dead bury their own dead.””
Just after a scribe offers to follow him, another disciple asks to first go and bury his father. Jesus' answer is one of his most startling sayings, and readers debate whether the man's father had already died or whether he meant waiting until his father's death.
