Luke 5:11 Meaning and Commentary

Luke 5:11

And when they had brought their ships to land
Both Simon Peter's, and the other in which his partners were, and which were laden with fish:

they forsook all;
even all their fish, which they doubtless might have made much money of, and their nets, and their ships, and their servants, and their relations, and friends:

and followed him;
Christ; and became his disciples, even all four of them, Peter, Andrew, James, and John.

9 For he was on each side astonished, and all that were with him, in the taking of fishes which they took.
10 Soothly in like manner James and John, the sons of Zebedee, that were fellows of Simon Peter [which were fellows of Simon Peter]. And Jesus said to Simon, Do not thou dread; now from this time thou shalt take men.
11 And when the boats were led up to the land, they left all things, and they followed him. [And the boats led up to the land, all things left, or forsaken, they followed him.]
12 And it was done, when he was in one of the cities, lo! a man full of leprosy; and seeing Jesus fell down on his face, and prayed him, and said [saying], Lord, if thou wilt, thou mayest make me clean.
13 And Jesus held forth his hand, and touched him, and said [saying], I will, be thou made clean. And at once [And anon] the leprosy passed away from him.
