Exposition of the New Testament (1746-1748)

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 Mat 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.

Commentary on the Bible (1832)

A certain man - He was a scribe. See on Mat 8:19-22 (note). It is probable that this took place when Christ was at Capernaum, as Matthew represents it, and not on the way to Jerusalem through Samaria.

The Metropolitan Tabernacle Pulpit, Sermon No. 2273: “Fickle Followers” (lightly modernized text, CCEL edition) (1892)

SOMETIMES nobody appeared to come to Christ. He preached, but no followers appeared as the result of His preaching. At another time, we see that many came and desired to be numbered with His disciples, but they were not all of the right kind. Luke has collected here three instances which I think are typical of many more of those who seemed to be true followers of Jesus, who, nevertheless, did not continue with Him and were not really converts.
