Luke 9:59

James Moffatt - New Testament

He said to another man, "Follow me"; but he said, "Let me go and bury my father first of all."

See the chapter Copy

Then Jesus said to his disciples, "If anyone wishes to come after me, let him deny himself, take up his cross, and follow me;

Seek God's Realm and his goodness, and all that will be yours over and above.

As Jesus passed along from there, he saw a man called Matthew sitting at the tax-office; he said to him, "Follow me"; and he rose and followed him.

Jesus said to him, "Leave the dead to bury their own dead; you go and spread the news of the Reign of God."
