And They Immediately Leaving Their Nets, Followed JESUS

And they straightway left their nets. (For their leaving everything Wetstein, on ver. 19, compares Epictetus, 12, Ἐάν δὲ κυβερνήτης καλέσῃ τρέχε ἐπὶ τὸ πλοῖον ἀφεὶς ἐκεῖνα πάντα μηδὲν ἐπιστρεφόμενος, “If the steersman call, run to the ship, leaving all those things, without regarding anything.”) The Rheims Version, with its love of archaisms, has, “But they incontinent, leaving the nettes, followed him.”
