All Jacob's children came to comfort him, but he refused to be comforted. “No,” he said, “I will go to my grave, mourning for my son.” So Jacob kept on grieving.

Soon he will send me home to the world of the dead, where we all must go.
Jesus replied, “I promise that today you will be with me in paradise.”
