In Matthew 8:18-22, Jesus was walking in Capernaum and a great multitude of people gathered. When teaching, you always begin with the less difficult then work your way up to the most difficult teachings. Jesus used familiar sayings so people would understand. But it take more than familiarity to understand. It takes the Holy Ghost to give us the answer. Disciples were telling Jesus that they will follow Him. In verse 20, Jesus said , but the Son of Man has no place to lay His Head. He had just left Peter’s house. So, He had a place to slept and eat. So, what was he talking about? Jesus was talking about dwelling in our hearts. They didn’t quite understand what He said. Jesus had revealed He was the messiah. Another disciple asked Jesus if could go and bury his father first. His father wasn’t dead. He wanted to go home and stay until he did die. Jesus said let the dead bury the dead. Jesus wasn’t being mean, but He only had a short time on this earth. And Jesus wanted people to put Him first before anything else. Some of Jesus’s sayings are hard, but doable. And without the Holy Ghost you can’t do them at all. Jesus is the Son of Man (Adam).
