Commentary on Mark 1:17
Come ye after me, and I will make you fishers of men. The imperative Come demands response. After me indicates discipleship. I will make you demonstrates Jesus transforms followers progressively. Fishers of men employs occupational knowledge for kingdom purposes. This has Old Testament background (Jeremiah 16:16) but here is redemptive—catching people for salvation. The call implies mission through evangelism. Reformed theology emphasizes Christ call is effectual—those He calls, He empowers for service.
