New disciples. ἐν τῇ ὁδῷ : the indication of time is not precise. It does not mean, on the way to the other village, mentioned just before (Meyer), but on the way to Jerusalem (Luke 9:51). Grotius thinks the connection is purely topical. “Visum est Lucae connectere τὰ ὁμογενέα.” The first two of the three cases are reported by Mt. (Matthew 8:19-22). τις : Mt. (Matthew 8:19) designates this certain one a scribe. ἀπέρχη implies a departure from a place. It would be a leaving of home for the disciple.
