A Change Of Business

Et surgens secutus est eum.  Lucas dicit: Relictus omnibus secutus est eum. Sequi enim imitari est. Et bene sequebatur, dum relinqueret propria, qui rapere solebat aliena, et quomodo sequendum sit docuit, quod contemnens negotia humana, factus est fidelis dominicorum dispensator talentorum. Sanctus Beda, In Matthaei Evangelium Expositio, Liber II, Cap IX

'And rising he followed Him.' 1   Luke says, 'Leaving everything, he followed him' 2. For to follow is to imitate. And well he followed when he left his own things, he who was accustomed to take the things of others, and how one must follow he taught, when scorning human business, he was made a faithful dispenser of the talents of the Lord. Saint Bede, Commentary on the Gospel of Matthew, Book 2, Chap 9 1 Mt 9.9 2 Lk 5.28
