Mattityahu 4:22 Meaning and Commentary

Matthew 4:22

And they immediately left the ship
More is expressed here than before, for they not only left their nets, but their ship too; which was of much more value; nay, even "their father" also, "with the hired servants", ( Mark 1:20 ) and so complied with the call of Christ to his people, ( Psalms 45:10 ) and thereby proved, that they were sincerely his followers, ( Luke 14:26 ) and might expect the gracious promise of Christ to be made good unto them, ( Matthew 19:28 Matthew 19:29 ) .
