Matthew Poole and continuators on Matthew 4:20

20 And they straightway left their Nets, and followed him.

When Christ calls, Men shall obey, when he calls, he draweth. It is not of indespensable necessity, that men who exercise the Ministry should have nothing else to do, Pauls hands ministred to his Necessities. But nothing but a providing for our selves, and Housholds, can excuse Ministers, in intangling themselves with the things of this Life. Churches that are able ought better to provide for their Ministers, and Ministers so provided for, sin if they do not wholly give up themselves to their work, 1 Tim. 4.15.
