OET (OET-LV) And another of_the apprentices/followers said to_him:
master, permit to_me first to_go_away and to_bury the father of_me.
OET (OET-RV) Another one of his followers said to him, “I’ll follow you, Master, but first let me wait until I can bury[fn] my father.”
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.

Here, the word Now introduces the next thing that happened. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a word or phrase that introduces the next event, or you could leave Now untranslated. Alternate translation: [Then,]

ἐπίτρεψόν μοι πρῶτον ἀπελθεῖν καὶ θάψαι τὸν πατέρα μου
permit ˱to˲_me first /to/_go_away and /to/_bury the father ˱of˲_me
Here the disciple could be indicating that: (1) his father had not yet died, but he needed to help and support his father until he died and was buried. Alternate translation: [permit me first to go away and help my father until he dies and I bury him] (2) his father had died very recently, and he needed to mourn and arrange the burial ceremonies. Alternate translation: [permit me first to go away and to bury my father who just died]
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
πρῶτον ἀπελθεῖν καὶ θάψαι τὸν πατέρα μου
first /to/_go_away and /to/_bury the father ˱of˲_me
Here the disciple means that he plans to bury his father before he travels with Jesus. If it would be helpful in your language, you could make this idea more explicit. Alternate translation: [to go away and to bury my father first before I go with you]
8:21 Another of his disciples: This statement suggests that the teacher of 8:19 was a disciple as well. Lord suggests a stronger commitment to Jesus.
• bury my father: This was one of the highest religious duties in Judaism, but Jesus requires total commitment to him.

Note: The OET-RV is still only a first draft, and so far only a few words have been (mostly automatically) matched to the Hebrew or Greek words that they’re translated from.
