Lukas 9:57

Challenging Professed Followers

9:57 As ²  they were walking ³  along the road, someone said to him, “I will follow you wherever you go.” ⁴ 

[24:28]  ¹ sn He acted as though he wanted to go farther. This is written in a way that gives the impression Jesus knew they would ask him to stay.

[9:57]  ² tn Grk “And as.” Here καί (kai) has not been translated because of differences between Greek and English style.

[9:57]  ³ tn Grk “going,” but “walking” is an accurate description of how they traveled about.

[9:57]  ⁴ tc Most mss (A C W Θ Ψ Ë¹³ 33 Ï) add κύριε (kurie, “Lord”) here, but scribes were prone to add to the text, especially appellations for the Lord. The shorter reading also enjoys significant ms support (Ì^45,75 א B D L Ξ Ë¹ lat co).

[9:57]  sn The statement “I will follow you wherever you go” is an offer to follow Jesus as a disciple, no matter what the cost.
