Contextual Overview

57As they were going along the road, someone said to Him, "I will follow You wherever You go." 58And Jesus told him, "Foxes have holes and the birds of the air have nests, but the Son of Man has no place to lay His head." 59He said to another, "Follow Me [accepting Me as Master and Teacher]." But he said, "Lord, allow me first to go and bury my father." 60But He said to him, "Allow the [spiritually] dead to bury their own dead; but as for you, go and spread the news about the kingdom of God." 61Another also said, "I will follow You, Lord [as Your disciple]; but first let me say goodbye to those at my home." 62But Jesus said to him, "No one who puts his hand to the plow and looks back [to the things left behind] is fit for the kingdom of God."

Gill's Notes on the Bible

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 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?" Matthew 8:19- :.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

See the notes at Matthew 8:19-22.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse 57. A certain man] He was a scribe. See on Matthew 8:19-22. 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.
