This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
16–20. THE MESSIAH CALLS HIS FIRST DISCIPLES

Mat 4:18-22. Cf. Luk 5:1-11

Here, in the fullest sense, the main portion of the Gospel begins, and the authority for it goes back to eye-witnesses, of whom St Peter may be regarded as the chief. We do not know how long an interval there is between this section and the preceding one; but the connexion in thought is close. If τὸ εὐαγγέλιον was to be proclaimed to all the world, many preachers would be required, and the Messiah at once seeks such helpers.
