Commentaries:
Robertson's Word Pictures (NT)
A scribe (eiv grammateuv). One (eiv)="a," indefinite article. Already a disciple as shown by "another of the disciples" (eterov twn maqhtwn) in Matthew 8:21. He calls Jesus "Teacher" (didaskale), but he seems to be a "bumptious" brother full of self-confidence and self-complacency. "Even one of that most unimpressionable class, in spirit and tendency utterly opposed to the ways of Jesus" (Bruce). Yet Jesus deals gently with him.
