'Goodbye' in the Bible
And why did you not allow me to kiss my grandchildren and my daughters [goodbye]? Now you have done a foolish thing [in behaving like this].
Then they wept aloud again; and Orpah kissed her mother-in-law [goodbye], but Ruth clung to her.
Another also said, “I will follow You, Lord [as Your disciple]; but first let me say goodbye to those at my home.”
So then, none of you can be My disciple who does not [carefully consider the cost and then for My sake] give up all his own possessions.
and one of you says to them, “Go in peace [with my blessing], [keep] warm and feed yourselves,” but he does not give them the necessities for the body, what good does that do?
Peace be to you. The friends [here] greet you. Greet the friends [personally] by name.
