Pro
Edit this section if you suspect error.
JW:
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:
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.
