Luke 9:60

Then Jesus said, "Let the dead bury their dead, but you go and proclaim the kingdom of God."
[Jewish burial took place in two stages. As soon as possible, preferably on the same day, the deceased was buried in a tomb. The family then observed a seven-day mourning period, followed by thirty days of less intense mourning. It was not until a year later that the eldest son was responsible for moving the bones to a so-called ossuary. It is highly unlikely that Jesus would have met this eldest son in the few hours before his father was buried; instead, it was sometime after the first burial. What the man is actually saying is that he is asking for a delay of perhaps up to eleven months before he intends to follow Jesus. By then it is too late, Jesus has already risen and this mission is over.]
