SEV Biblia, Chapter 5:28

Y dejadas todas las cosas, levant�ndose, le sigui�.

Clarke's Bible Commentary - Luke 5:28

Verse 28. And he left all] katalipwn-completely abandoning his office, and every thing connected with it. He who wishes to preach the Gospel, like the disciples of Christ, must have no earthly entanglement. If he have, his whole labour will be marred by it. The concerns of his own soul, and those of the multitudes to whom he preaches, are sufficient to engross all his attention, and to employ all his powers.

John Gill's Bible Commentary

Ver. 28. And he left all , etc.] His company, his business, and all the profits of it: rose up ; directly; such power went along with the words of Christ, that he could not withstand it: and followed him ; not only in a literal, but in a spiritual sense, and became a disciple of his.

Matthew Henry Commentary

Verses 27-39 - It was a wonder of Christ's grace, that he would call a publican to be his disciple and follower. It was a wonder of his grace, that the cal was made so effectual. It was a wonder of his grace, that he came to call sinners to repentance, and to assure them of pardon. It was wonder of his grace, that he so patiently bore the contradiction of sinners against himself and his disciples. It was a wonder of his grace, that he fixed the services of his disciples according to their strength and standing. The Lord trains up his people gradually for the trials allotted them; we should copy his example in dealing with the weak in faith, or the tempted believer __________________________________________________________________

Robertson's NT Word Studies

5:28 {He forsook all} (katalipwn panta). this detail in Luke alone. He left his profitable business for the service of Christ. {Followed him} (ekolouqei autwi). Imperfect active, perhaps inchoative. He began at once to follow him and he kept it up. Both #Mr 2:14; Mt 9:9 have the aorist (ekolouqesen), perhaps ingressive.
