Summary Of Commentaries Associated With The Selected Verse
| A Commentary, Critical, Practical, and Explanatory on the Old and New Testaments, by Robert Jamieson, A.R. Fausset and David Brown [1882] |
| forsook all--They did this before (Mat 4:20); now they do it again; and yet after the Crucifixion they are at their boats once more (Joh 21:3). In such a business this is easily conceivable. After pentecost, however, they appear to have finally abandoned their secular calling. |
| Notes on the Bible, by Albert Barnes, [1834] |
| Forsook all - It was not "much" that they left - a couple of small boats and their nets; but it was all they had, even all their living. But this showed their love of Jesus, and their willingness to deny themselves, as "really" as if they had forsaken palaces and gold. All that Jesus asks is that we should leave "all" we have for him; that we should love him "more" than we do whatever friends or property we may possess, and be willing to give them all up when he requires it. |
| Explanatory Notes on the Whole Bible, by John Wesley [1754-65] |
| They forsook all and followed him - They had followed him before, Joh 1:43, but not so as to forsake all. Till now, they wrought at their ordinary calling. |
| Adam Clarke Commentary on the Whole Bible - Published 1810-1826 |
They forsook all, and followed him - God expects this from every person, and especially from those in whose hearts, or in whose behalf, he has wrought a miracle of grace or of providence. Jesus intended to call Peter, James, and John, to become his disciples; and that they might see the propriety and importance of the call, he: -
1st. Teaches in their presence, that they may know his doctrine.
2dly. He Works a Miracle before their eyes, that they might see and be convinced of his power.
3dly. He Calls them to go forth with this doctrine, and through this power, that they might teach the ignorant, and be successful in their work. |
3 Simon [4613] Peter [4074] saith [3004] unto them [846], I go [5217] a fishing [232]. They say [3004] unto him [846], We [2249] also [2532] go [2064] with [4862] thee [4671]. They went forth [1831], and [2532] entered [305] into [1519] a ship [4143] immediately [2117]; and [2532] that [1722] [1565] night [3571] they caught [4084] nothing [3762].
20 And [1161] they straightway [2112] left [863] their nets [1350], and followed [190] him [846].
43 The day following [1887] Jesus [2424] would [2309] go forth [1831] into [1519] Galilee [1056], and [2532] findeth [2147] Philip [5376], and [2532] saith [3004] unto him [846], Follow [190] me [3427].
