Commentary on Matthew 8:19
The scribe's address 'Master' (Greek 'didaskalos'—teacher) and enthusiastic promise 'I will follow thee whithersoever thou goest' appears exemplary but lacks understanding of discipleship's cost. His self-initiated approach contrasts with Jesus' calling of the Twelve. The scribe's profession may be sincere but immature, not counting the cost. Jesus' response reveals that true discipleship requires abandoning security and comfort, not merely enthusiastic profession.
