This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Mending their nets (katartizontas ta diktua autōn). These two brothers, James and John, were getting their nets ready for use. The verb (katartizō) means to adjust, to articulate, to mend if needed (Luk 6:40; Rom 9:22; Gal 6:1). So they promptly left their boat and father and followed Jesus. They had also already become disciples of Jesus. Now there are four who follow him steadily.
