Jesus said follow me and leave the dead to bury the dead. This implies that Jesus
Opposed burial of the dead
Was beside himself
Was acting as a fanatic
Regarded as dead anybody who rejects him
Placed more emphasis on the living than the dead
Correct answer is E
When Jesus said, "Follow me, and leave the dead to bury their own dead," (Matthew 8:22, RSV), he was emphasizing the urgency and priority of following him and spreading the message of the Kingdom of God. The phrase suggests that following Jesus and participating in the work of the Kingdom is more important than earthly and worldly concerns, even the burial of the dead. It doesn't necessarily mean that Jesus opposed burial or regarded as dead those who reject him, but rather that he emphasized the importance of prioritizing the spiritual over the material.
