Mattityahu 8:21-23

Orthodox Jewish Bible

²¹ And another of Moshiach’s talmidim said to him, Adoneinu, allow me first to go and bury my father.

²² But Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach says to him, Follow me, and permit the mesim (spiritually dead ones without hitkhadshut, spiritually unregenerate ones) to bury their own mesim (deceased ones, niftarim).

²³ And when he embarked into the sirah, Moshiach’s talmidim followed him.
