καὶ εὐθέως�. δ. There is no hesitation. Like Bartimaeus with his ἱμάτιον (Mark 10:50), they leave their valuable possessions; and apparently there is neither father nor servant present to take care of the nets. As Theophylact says, τὸν Ἰάκωβον σαγηνεύει καὶ τὸν Ἰωάννην. Mt. often omits the εὐθύς of Mk (comp. Mark 1:12; Mark 1:29; Mark 1:43; Mark 2:8; Mark 2:12 with Matthew 4:1; Matthew 8:4; Matthew 8:14; Matthew 9:4; Matthew 9:7), but not here.
