ἀκολουθήσω σοι ὅπου ἐὰν ἀπέρχῃ
˱I˲_/will_be/_following ˱after˲_you wherever ¬if ˱you˲_/may_be/_going_away
Here, the clause I will follow you indicates that the scribe wishes to travel with Jesus and be his disciple. The phrase wherever you go indicates that he wishes to be Jesus’ disciple no matter what Jesus does or where he goes. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a comparable phrase or state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “I will become your faithful disciple” or “I will travel with you as your student wherever you go”
