Bible Commentary

Luke 5:28

The Pulpit Commentary · Joseph S. Exell and contributors · Public Domain

He left all, rose up, and followed him. No doubt a hard and difficult bit of self-renunciation. He, at the bidding of the homeless, landless Teacher, gave up his lucrative employment, sacrificing all his life of promotion, of future wealth and position, exposing himself, doubtless, to sneers and calumny.

With great truth could he re-echo his friend Peter's words, "Lo, we have left all, and followed thee."
