Did the man really want to bury his father at Luke 9:59? Explain.

The wording likely does not mean that the man had just lost his father in death and was asking only to make funeral arrangements. Had this been the case, it is unlikely that he would have been there talking to Jesus. In the ancient Middle East, a death in the family would be followed very quickly by a funeral, generally on the same day.

How do we know that Jonathan was 30 years or older to David?

King Saul ruled for 40 years and then David became king. David was 30 years old when he became king. (2 Samuel 5:4) That means when David was born in 1107 B.C.E. (1 Sam. 16:1), Saul had already been ruling Israel for 10 years from 1117 B.C.E. When Saul became king, Jonathan was at least 20 years because he was serving in the military. (Numbers 1:3) So, 20 plus 10 equals 30 years.
