Matthäus 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.

Matthäus 4:20 In-Context

18 Als nun Jesus an dem Galiläischen Meer ging, sah er zwei Brüder, Simon, der da heißt Petrus, und Andreas, seinen Bruder, die warfen ihre Netze ins Meer; denn sie waren Fischer.
19 Und er sprach zu ihnen: Folget mir nach; ich will euch zu Menschenfischern machen!
20 Alsbald verließen sie ihre Netze und folgten ihm nach.
21 Und da er von da weiterging, sah er zwei andere Brüder, Jakobus, den Sohn des Zebedäus, und Johannes, seinen Bruder, im Schiff mit ihrem Vater Zebedäus, daß sie ihre Netze flickten; und er rief sie.
22 Alsbald verließen sie das Schiff und ihren Vater und folgten ihm nach.
