To another he said, “Follow me.” But he said, “Lord, let me first go and bury my father.”

He said to another man, “Follow me.”

But he replied, “Lord, first let me go and bury my father.”

Then he said to another, “Follow me.”

“Lord,” he said, “first let me go bury my father.”

He said to another person, “Come, follow me.”

The man agreed, but he said, “Lord, first let me return home and bury my father.”

And he said to another, “Follow me!” But he said, “Lord, first allow me to go and bury my father.”

And he said unto another, Follow me. But he said, Lord, suffer me first to go and bury my father.
