Luke 9:57

Context
Challenging Professed Followers

9:57 As 1  they were walking 2  along the road, someone said to him, “I will follow you wherever you go.” 3 

Luke 12:47

Context
12:47 That 4  servant who knew his master’s will but did not get ready or do what his master asked 5  will receive a severe beating.

1 tn Grk “And as.” Here καί (kai) has not been translated because of differences between Greek and English style.

2 tn Grk “going,” but “walking” is an accurate description of how they traveled about.

3 tc Most mss (A C W Θ Ψ Ë13 33 Ï) add κύριε (kurie, “Lord”) here, but scribes were prone to add to the text, especially appellations for the Lord. The shorter reading also enjoys significant ms support (Ì45,75 א B D L Ξ Ë1 lat co).

sn The statement “I will follow you wherever you go” is an offer to follow Jesus as a disciple, no matter what the cost.

4 tn Here δέ (de) has not been translated.

5 tn Grk “or do according to his will”; the referent (the master) has been specified in the translation for clarity. This example deals with the slave who knew what the command was and yet failed to complete it.
