Mateo 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.

Mateo 4:20 In-Context

18 Y andando junto al mar de Galilea, vio a dos hermanos, Simón, llamado Pedro, y Andrés su hermano, echando una red al mar, porque eran pescadores.

19 Y les dijo<***>: Seguidme, y yo os haré pescadores de hombres.

20 Entonces ellos, dejando al instante las redes, le siguieron.

21 Y pasando de allí, vio a otros dos hermanos, Jacobo , hijo de Zebedeo, y Juan su hermano, en la barca con su padre Zebedeo, remendando sus redes, y los llamó.

22 Y ellos, dejando al instante la barca y a su padre, le siguieron.
