“Jesus said unto him, Let the dead bury their dead: but go thou and preach the kingdom of God.”
Jesus told him, let the dead bury their own dead, but you go and proclaim the kingdom of God — let the dead bury their own dead: the provocative saying places the kingdom's urgency above even the most sacred family obligation. The kingdom's proclamation cannot wait for the most pressing human duty. You go and proclaim communicates the specific calling — the man's vocation is proclamation, and even death cannot wait.
