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 Primeros discípulos
Cierto día, mientras Jesús caminaba por la orilla del mar de Galilea, vio a dos hermanos —a Simón, también llamado Pedro, y a Andrés— que echaban la red al agua, porque vivían de la pesca.

19 Jesús los llamó:

20 Y enseguida dejaron las redes y lo siguieron.

21 Un poco más adelante por la orilla, vio a otros dos hermanos, Santiago y Juan, sentados en una barca junto a su padre, Zebedeo, reparando las redes. También los llamó para que lo siguieran.

22 Ellos, dejando atrás la barca y a su padre, lo siguieron de inmediato.
