8. Fell down at Jesus' knees. Filled with awe and reverence at the miracle that had drawn the shoal to their net.
10. Said unto Simon. Not to him alone ( Matt. 1:19 ). Simon, Andrew, James and John were all told to become "fishers of men."
11. They forsook all. The four just named. Before this all were disciples; henceforth they follow Jesus personally. These all together cast the gospel net on Pentecost and had a mighty draught.
12-16. A man full of leprosy. See notes on Matt. 8:2-4 and Mark 1:40-45.
17-26. There were Pharisees and doctors. See notes on Matt. 9:2-8 and Mark 2:1-12.
27-39. Saw a publican named Levi. See notes on Matt. 9:9-17 and Mark 2:14-22. Levi. Matthew Levi. He was the fifth called to attend the footsteps of Jesus. Like the others, at the call, he rose and followed at once. Made a great feast. To let Jesus meet with his fellow-publicans. Why do the disciples of John fast? Intended as a rebuke for their attendance at a great feast. Jesus shows that fasting ought not to be a form, but to have a meaning.
