People's Commentary (NT)
Luke 9:62 No man, having put his hand to the plough. An agricultural figure. The plowman must look ahead instead of back. So, too, of the Christian. The Savior's words were suggested by a request of one to go home for a farewell before following him. In thousands of instances it has been show that the convert who goes to confer with unbelieving relatives before the final step is likely to part with Christ instead. Heathen, ready to be baptized, who go home for a final farewell before the step, are likely to be persuaded not to take it, so missionaries tell us.
Luke 9:57-62 On these excuses, see notes on Matthew 8:18-22 Mr 4:35. Luke adds a few new facts which I notice. A certain man. A scribe (Matthew 8:19). I will follow thee. The Lord tries his sincerity by telling him of the hardships before him.
