Mattheüs 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.

Mattheüs 4:20 In-Context

18 En Jezus, wandelende aan de zee van Galilea, zag twee broeders, namelijk Simon, gezegd Petrus, en Andreas, zijn broeder, het net in de zee werpende (want zij waren vissers);
19 En Hij zeide tot hen: Volgt Mij na, en Ik zal u vissers der mensen maken.
20 Zij dan, terstond de netten verlatende, zijn Hem nagevolgd.
21 En Hij, van daar voortgegaan zijnde, zag twee andere broeders, namelijk Jakobus, den zoon van Zebedeus, en Johannes, zijn broeder, in het schip met hun vader Zebedeus, hun netten vermakende, en heeft hen geroepen.
22 Zij dan, terstond verlatende het schip en hun vader, zijn Hem nagevolgd.
