Demons also came out of many, screaming and saying, "You are the Son of God." But he rebuked them, and did not permit them to speak, because they knew that he was the Christ.

So he came to the house, and would not permit anyone to go in with him except Peter and John and James, and the father and Mother of the little girl.

To another he said, "Follow me!" But he replied, "Permit me first to go and bury my father."

And another man also said to him. "I will follow you, Lord; but first permit me to bid farewell to those who are in my house."

"Permit me to do this at least," said Jesus, as he touched his ear and healed him.
