¹¹ nor beside any dead person doth he come; for his father and for his mother he doth not defile himself;

¹⁴ `This `is' the law, when a man dieth in a tent: every one who is coming in unto the tent, and all that `is' in the tent, is unclean seven days;

⁷ for his father, or for his mother, for his brother, or for his sister -- he is not unclean for them at their death, for the separation of his God `is' on his head;

¹ And Jehovah saith unto Moses, `Speak unto the priests, sons of Aaron, and thou hast said unto them, For `any' person `a priest' is not defiled among his people,

² except for his relation who `is' near unto him -- for his mother, and for his father, and for his son, and for his daughter, and for his brother.

²⁸ `And a cutting for the soul ye do not put in your flesh; and a writing, a cross-mark, ye do not put on you; I `am' Jehovah.

¹⁶ So that we henceforth have known no one according to the flesh, and even if we have known Christ according to the flesh, yet now we know him no more;

⁵⁹ And he said unto another, `Be following me;' and he said, `Sir, permit me, having gone away, first to bury my father;'

⁶⁰ and Jesus said to him, `Suffer the dead to bury their own dead, and thou, having gone away, publish the reign of God.'

⁴⁶ And while he was yet speaking to the multitudes, lo, his mother and brethren had stood without, seeking to speak to him,

⁴⁷ and one said to him, `Lo, thy mother and thy brethren do stand without, seeking to speak to thee.'

⁴⁸ And he answering said to him who spake to him, `Who is my mother? and who are my brethren?'

⁴⁹ And having stretched forth his hand toward his disciples, he said, `Lo, my mother and my brethren!

⁵⁰ for whoever may do the will of my Father who is in the heavens, he is my brother, and sister, and mother.'

²¹ And another of his disciples said to him, `Sir, permit me first to depart and to bury my father;'

²² and Jesus said to him, `Follow me, and suffer the dead to bury their own dead.'

⁹ Who is saying of his father and his mother, I have not seen him; And his brethren he hath not discerned, And his sons he hath not known; For they have observed Thy saying, And Thy covenant they keep.
