This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Mat 4:18-22. Calling of Peter and Andrew, James and John.
And Jesus, walking - The word “Jesus” here appears not to belong to the text, but to have been introduced from those portions of it which were transcribed to be used as church lessons; where it was naturally introduced as a connecting word at the commencement of a lesson.
by the Sea of Galilee, saw two brethren, Simon called Peter and Andrew his brother, casting a net into the sea; for they were fishers - “called Peter” for the reason mentioned in Mat 16:18.
