8:18 Some wanted to follow Yeshua

(Luke 9:57-62)

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

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

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

22 “Follow 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.

18 And the Yaʸsous having_seen crowd around him, he_commanded them to_go_away to the side across.

19 And one scribe having_approached, said to_him:
Teacher, I_will_be_following after_you wherever if you_may_be_going_away.

20 And the Yaʸsous/(Yəhōshūˊa) is_saying to_him:
- Foxes are_having burrows and the birds of_the sky nests, but the the_son of_ the _man is_having not somewhere he_may_be_laying his head.

21 And another of_the apprentices/followers said to_him:
master, permit to_me first to_go_away and to_bury the father of_me.

22 But the Yaʸsous is_saying to_him:
Be_following after_me and leave the dead to_bury the dead by_themselves.
