Jesus, therefore, saith to them, "My time is not yet present; but your time is always ready. The world cannot hate you; but Me it hates, because I testify concerning it, that its works are evil. Go ye up to the feast. I am not yet going up to this feast, because My time has not yet been fulfilled." And, having said these things to them, He abode in Galilee. But, when His brethren went up to the feast, then He also went up, not openly, but as it were in secret. The Jews, therefore, were seeking Him at the feast, and said, "Where is He?"

But he said, "Lord, permit me, going away, first to bury my father." And He said, "Leave the dead to bury their own dead; but, going, publish abroad the Kingdom of God." And another said, "I will follow Thee, Lord; but first permit me to bid adieu to those within my house." And Jesus said to him, "No one, having put his hand to a plow, and looking back, is fit for the Kingdom of God."
