Jesus calls four fisherman. (continued)

Mat 4:22 And they immediately left the ship and their father, and followed him.

Meaning:

Mat 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", Mar_1:20 and so complied with the call of Christ to his people, Psa_45:10 and thereby proved, that they were sincerely his followers, Luk_14:26 and might expect the gracious promise of Christ to be made good unto them, Mat_19:28.
