Mateus 4:20 Meaning and Commentary

Matthew 4:20

And they straightway left their nets
That is, as soon as he had called them, they left their worldly employment, and followed him; they gave up themselves to his service, and became his disciples; they not only left their "nets", but their fishing boats, and fishing trade, and all that belonged to it, even all their substance; and also their relations, friends, and acquaintance, see ( Matthew 19:27 ) which shows what a mighty power went along with the words and call of Christ; and what a ready, cheerful, and voluntary subjection this produces, wherever it takes place.

Mateus 4:20 In-Context

18 E Jesus, andando ao longo do mar da Galiléia, viu dois irmãos - Simão, chamado Pedro, e seu irmão André, os quais lançavam a rede ao mar, porque eram pescadores.

19 Disse-lhes: Vinde após mim, e eu vos farei pescadores de homens.

20 Eles, pois, deixando imediatamente as redes, o seguiram.

21 E, passando mais adiante, viu outros dois irmãos - Tiago, filho de Zebedeu, e seu irmão João, no barco com seu pai Zebedeu, consertando as redes; e os chamou.

22 Estes, deixando imediatamente o barco e seu pai, seguiram- no.
