Luke 9:57 Douay-Rheims

And it came to pass, as they walked in the way, that a certain man said to him: I will follow thee withersoever thou goest.

Athanasius of Alexandria

c. A.D. 296–373 Patristic

Or herein our Lord teaches the greatness of His gift, as if He said, All created things may be confined by place, but the Word of God has incomprehensible power. Say not then, I will follow thee whithersoever thou goest. But if thou wouldest be a disciple, cast off 1 foolish things, for it is impossible for him who remains in foolishness to become a disciple of the Word.
