"And he said unto another, Follow me. But he said, Lord, suffer me first to go and bury my father."
Commentary
Gill's Exposition
And he said unto another, follow me,.... According to Matthew, one of his disciples, who had attended him some time, and whom he now called to the ministerial work; See
Gill on Mat 8:20 . The Ethiopic version reads, "another said to him, shall I not follow thee?" but without any foundation: they are certainly the words of Christ, directed to another person, at the same time he met with the former: but he said, Lord, suffer me first to go and bury my father; See Gill on Mat 8:21 .
