9:59 let me . . . bury my father: Respect for parents was a very important value in first-century Israel. Among other things, this meant providing them with an honorable burial. Jesus called for a commitment that took precedence over all human relationships.
Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor
ἀκολούθει μοι
/be/_following ˱after˲_me
As in 5:27, to Follow Jesus means to become one of his disciples. Alternate translation: “I want you to be one of my disciples”
ἐπίτρεψόν μοι ἀπελθόντι, πρῶτον θάψαι τὸν πατέρα μου
permit ˱to˲_me /having/_gone_away first /to/_bury the father ˱of˲_me
It is unclear whether the man’s father had died and that he would bury him immediately, or whether the man wanted to wait for a longer amount of time until his father died so that he could bury him then. The main point is that the man wanted to do something else first before going with Jesus. Alternate translation: “before I do that, let me go and bury my father”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy
ἐπίτρεψόν μοι ἀπελθόντι, πρῶτον θάψαι τὸν πατέρα μου
permit ˱to˲_me /having/_gone_away first /to/_bury the father ˱of˲_me
One possible meaning of this expression is that the man wanted to wait until he had received his inheritance from his father so that he could live on that money while traveling with Jesus. If so, then he would be referring to the inheritance by association with his father’s death, and he would be referring to his father’s death by association with his burial. Alternate translation: “let me wait until I receive my inheritance”
