Mat 8:20. Καὶ λέγει αὐτῷ ὁ Ἰησοῦς, κ.τ.λ., and Jesus saith unto him, etc.) Our Lord does not repulse this man, but he proposes a condition by which to correct the view with which he made the offer respecting comfort or wealth, or even the power of working miracles.-ὁ Υἱὸς τοῦ ἁνθρώπου, the Son of man) See Gnomon on ch. Mat 16:13.-οὐκ ἔχει, κ.τ.λ., hath not, etc.) O admirable poverty and endurance, combined with perpetual pilgrimage.[378]
[378] Neither had He a house of His own, nor a fixed dwelling anywhere, Mar 1:45. The Scribe regarded it as an easier matter than it really was, to follow Him whithersoever He was going.-Harm., p. 269.
