Luke 9:57

John Gill's Exposition of the Entire Bible · John Gill (1697–1771) · Public Domain

And it came to pass, as they went in the way,.... From one village of the Samaritans, to the other; though if this is the same history related in Mt 8:19 it was as Christ went from Capernaum to the sea side, in order to go to the other side of it; and must be inserted here, without regard to the order of time:a certain man said unto him; if the same as in Matthew, he is there said to be a "Scribe";Lord, I will follow thee, wheresoever thou goest.

The Arabic and Ethiopic versions read these words by way of question, "Lord, shall I not follow thee wheresoever thou goest?"
