"Jesus said unto him, Let the dead bury their dead: but go thou and preach the kingdom of God."
Commentary
Gill's Exposition
Jesus said unto him, let the dead bury the dead,.... See Gill on Mat 8:22 . but go thou and preach the kingdom of God; that the kingdom of heaven
is at hand, the Gospel dispensation is now ushering in, and the kingdom of the Messiah is setting up; go and publish the things concerning the kingdom of grace, which lies not in outward rites and ceremonies, but in righteousness and peace, and joy in the Holy Ghost; and declare the things relating to the kingdom of glory, and eternal life and happiness; assert, that unless a man is born again, and has a better righteousness than his own, he is neither fit for, nor has he a right unto everlasting bliss.
