“And a certain scribe came, and said unto him, Master, I will follow thee whithersoever thou goest.”
And a scribe came up and said to him, Teacher, I will follow you wherever you go. The two would-be disciples who present themselves on the way to the boat represent two forms of inadequately counted discipleship. The scribe who offers to follow wherever Jesus goes has not counted the cost — Jesus' response in verse 20 is about homelessness. Luke 9:57–62 records the fuller version of the exchange. The enthusiasm is genuine but untested: following Jesus wherever he goes means following him to the other shore in the storm, following him to the Gentile territories, following him to the cross.
