And it came to pass, as they went in the way, etc.] From one village of the Samaritans, to the other; though if this is the same history related in (<400819>Matthew 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?” (See Gill on “<400819>Matthew 8:19”).
