Why did the disciples drop everything and follow Jesus?

Utmost reading for March 15th gives some points to ponder in regard to this question.  http://www.rbc.org/utmost/ (use arrow buttons at the bottom of the website to get to March 15th)

 

The end of chapter 4, Jesus heals the sick and the buzz is starting about "who is this guy".  The crowds begin to form.  I think he has the disciples attention.  All of this

was to prepare them so they would have ears to hear

chapter 5.
