This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
There was another James, Mat_10:3, the son of Alpheus, called James the less, brother of Joses and Salome, Mar_15:40. This was
James the son of Zebedee, and John, who is thought to be the evangelist. Christ calleth them, not with his voice only, but by his Spirit, affecting their hearts, so as they immediately left their ship and their father. Elsewhere the disciples say, Master, we have left all and followed thee; probably their employment with their ship was their all. They left their father also, but it was upon Christ’s call, in which case it is every man’s duty,
and followed him, to learn of him before they went out to preach him, and to be witnesses of his miracles, &c.
