Matthew 4:20 meaning and explanation
And at once they left their nets and followed Him.
Matthew 4:20, Berean Standard Bible
Explanation preview
Jesus has just called Simon Peter and Andrew while they were casting nets beside the Sea of Galilee, and verse 20 records their immediate response. The Greek word for "left" is aphiēmi, meaning to let go or send away, and it describes a real abandonment of livelihood, not a pause to consider.
