This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Luk 14:27. Καὶ) “whosoever doth not bear his cross,” and yet (not, and does not come) comes, and walks after me, as ye do, as though he was wishing to be my disciple. [But Engl. Ver. takes it in the way which Beng. rejects, “Whosoever doth not bear his cross and come after me,” etc.] Comp. note, Mat 16:24.[149]
[149] Ὀπίσω μου ἐλθεῖν, to come after Me, denotes mere status and profession: But ἀκολουθεῖν, to follow, denotes actual obedience.-E. and T.
