Notes
Come, follow Me: This meant accepting the beliefs and lifestyle of a teacher as your own (Matthew 16:24; Deuteronomy 5:33; 1 Kings 19:19–21).
fishers of men: The disciples would help in the saving and judging work of the kingdom of heaven (see Matthew 10:5–15; 13:47–51; Ezekiel 29:4–5; Amos 4:2).
The call of the first disciples shows one purpose of the ministry of Jesus: to invite people to follow him with self-denying obedience (compare Matthew 4:17, 23–25).
