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.
