Jesus told a potential disciple in Luke 9:
59 He said to another man, “Follow me.”
But he replied, “Lord, first let me go and bury my father.”
60Jesus said to him, “Let the dead bury their own dead, but you go and proclaim the kingdom of God.”
On the other hand, Moses commanded the Israelites in Exodus 20:
12 “Honor your father and your mother, so that you may live long in the land the LORD your God is giving you.
Wasn't burying one's own father a way to honor his death?
