Menage
A menage is a domestic establishment; household.
Jesus often stayed in the menage of Simon Peter in Capernaum (Mark 1:29). While Simon Peter and his brother Andrew dropped their nets to follow Jesus (Mark 1:18), evidently they maintained possession of their home. This is not accusation, merely an observation that tends to contradict the image most have of the new disciples leaving everything about their former lives to follow Christ.
