Simon’s. That is, Simon Peter’s (see v. 8). For further information on Peter and his relation to the other members of the group here busy caring for their nets see on Mark 3:16.

He sat down. Teachers customarily sat as they addressed their classes. This was true both of the rabbinical schools and of public instruction given by the rabbis in the Temple courts in Jerusalem. Those teaching in the synagogues also customarily sat as they taught (see on ch. 4:20).
