"'Mereka segera meninggalkan jalanya dan mengikuti Dia' (Mat 4:20). Para Rasul tidak enggan meninggalkan jala mereka demi Tuhan, meskipun mereka mungkin satu-satunya milik mereka, dan berharga bagi mereka karena mereka hidup oleh mereka; dan kita, juga, demi Tuhan, harus meninggalkan segala sesuatu yang menghalangi kita mengikuti Dia? yaitu, semua banyak dan beragam jaring yang di dalamnya musuh menjerat kita dalam kehidupan."

'They straightway left their nets and followed Him' (Mt. 4:20). The Apostles did not grudge leaving their nets for the Lord's sake, although they were perhaps their only property, and precious to them because they lived by them; and we, likewise, for the Lord's sake, ought to leave everything that hinders our following Him ? that is, all the many and various nets in which the enemy entangles us in life.
