Some wanted to follow Yeshua

8:18 Some wanted to follow Yeshua

(Luke 9:57-62)

18When Yeshua saw the crowd around him, he told his apprentices to take him across to the other side of the lake. 19One of the teachers of the law came up to Yeshua and told him, “Teacher, I’ll follow you wherever you go.”

20Foxes have burrows,” said Yeshua, “and birds have their nests, but humanity’s child doesn’t even have a place to lay his head.

21Another one of his followers said to him, “I’ll follow you, Master, but first let me wait until I can bury[fn] my father.”

22Follow after me,Yeshua responded, “and leave the dead to bury the dead by themselves.


8:21 It’s not certain from either the text or the context whether this person meant that their father had just died (less likely, perhaps, because they probably wouldn’t have been there at all), or that they wanted to delay until their (presumably, elderly) father passed away before following Yeshua.
