John Chrysostom — as excerpted in the Catena Aurea on Luke 5:8-11

Patristic A.D. 407
John Chrysostom · A.D. 347–407
“(Hom. 14. in Matt.) But mark their faith and obedience. For though they were eagerly engaged in the employment of fishing, yet when they heard the command of Jesus, they delayed not, but forsook all and followed Him. Such is the obedience which Christ demands of us; we must not forego it, even though some great necessity urges us. Hence it follows, And having brought their ships to land.”
