Pro

Edit this section if you suspect error.

JW:

8

21 "And another of the disciples said unto him, Lord, suffer me first to go and bury my father.

22 But Jesus saith unto him, Follow me; and leave the dead to bury their own dead."

Compare to:

Deuteronomy 5:16

16 "Honor thy father and thy mother, as Jehovah thy God commanded thee"

The Tanakh has several verses indicating that lack of a timely burial is an insult so Jesus has contradicted one of the ten commandments here.
