The calling of these four men shows Jesus" authority over people. The response of these disciples was appropriate in view of their summons by the King. They obeyed "immediately" ( Matthew 4:20; Matthew 4:22). From here on in the Gospel of Matthew we will not read stories about Jesus alone; He is always with His disciples, until they desert Him in the garden of Gethsemane ( Matthew 26:56).
