There is no record of Jesus burying the dead. But he did say to a man let the dead bury the dead:

Mat 8:21 Another man, who was a disciple, said, "Sir, first let me go back and bury my father."

Mat 8:22 "Follow me," Jesus answered, "and let the dead bury their own dead."

Jesus mentions burying the dead in Mt 8:22:

Another of (his) disciples said to him, "Lord, let me go first andbury my father." But Jesusanswered him, "Follow me, and let the dead burytheir dead." Mt 8:21-22 (NAB)

Here the New American Bible has a nice commentary: thedemand of Jesus overrides what both the Jewish and the Hellenisticworld regarded as a filialobligation of the highestimportance.

A parallel passage to this can also be found in Lk 9:59-60:

And to another he said, "Followme." But he replied, "(Lord,) let me go first and bury myfather." But he answered him, "Let the dead burytheir dead. But you, goand proclaim the kingdom ofGod."

Here the NAB has another nice commentary: let thespiritually dead (those who do notfollow) bury their physicallydead.

But nowhere does He say Mourn for the Dead. Sorry,The Jews mourn their dead.Messianic Rabbi Tom
