Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Luke 9:57
And as they went on their way, a certain man said unto him, I will follow thee whithersoever thou goest.THREE PROSPECTIVE FOLLOWERSMany a soul has felt the thrilling impulse to leave everything and follow the Lord; and if following Jesus continued to have the sharp romantic focus in the believer's heart, as in the case of this man, then there would be a great many more followers. However, much more is involved than an enthusiastic decision. Under the excitement of the moment, this man declared... read more

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Luke 9:54-56
Luke 9:54-56. And when his disciples, James and John— That these disciples, so remarkablydistinguished by their Lord's favour, should havesome distinguished zeal and faith, may seem less wonderful, than that a person of so sweet a disposition as John should make so severe a proposal. Our Lord, whose meekness on all occasions was admirable, sharply reprimanded his disciples for entertaining so unbecoming a resentment: Ye know not what manner of spirit ye are of: "Ye do not know the sinfulness of... read more

1. The importance of toleration 9:51-56The first verse (Luke 9:51) sets the agenda for all that follows until Jesus’ Triumphal Entry. It was now time for Jesus to begin moving toward Jerusalem and the Cross. As He did so, He immediately encountered opposition (cf. Acts 20:3; Acts 21:4; Acts 21:11-14), but He accepted it and refused to retaliate against His opponents. Jesus’ attitude here recalls His reaction to the opposition He encountered in Nazareth at the beginning of His Galilean ministry... read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Luke 9:55-56
Jesus strongly disapproved of James and John’s attitude, and He rebuked them (Gr. epetimesen, cf. Luke 4:35; Luke 4:41; Luke 8:24). Jesus’ mission did not call for Him to bring judgment yet. The group, therefore, proceeded to another presumably Samaritan village where they found lodging.The point of the story is Jesus’ toleration of rejection without retaliation (cf. Luke 6:36). His attitude contrasts with the disciples’ attitude, which did not grow out of righteous indignation, because the... read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Luke 9:57-58
Matthew wrote that the man was a scribe (Matthew 8:19), but Luke generalized the reference, probably so every reader could identify with the man. The man professed willingness to follow Jesus anywhere as His intimate disciple. Jesus did not rebuke him but clarified for him what that would involve so he could count the cost intelligently. He would need to be willing to accept homelessness, physical discomfort, other privation, and rejection. Jesus’ disciples had experienced these things... read more

2. The importance of self-denial 9:57-62 (cf. Matthew 8:19-22)Luke turned from a presentation of people who rejected Jesus to one in which three individuals wanted to become His disciples. Each of them underestimated the degree of commitment that Jesus required. Jesus’ words clarify the cost of discipleship (cf. Luke 9:23-26). Note the recurrence of the key word "follow" in Luke 9:57; Luke 9:59; Luke 9:61. The first two incidents evidently happened during Jesus’ ministry in Galilee (cf. Matthew... read more
