Sun 31 Oct Luke 19:1-10
Luk 19:1 He passed through Jericho - So that Zaccheus must have lived near the end of the town: the tree was in the town itself. And he was rich - These words seem to refer to the discourse in the last chapter, Luk_18:24-27, particularly to Luk_18:27. Zaccheus is a proof, that it is possible by the power of God for even a rich man to enter into the kingdom of heaven.
Luk 19:2 The chief of the publicans - What we would term, commissioner of the customs. A very honourable as well as profitable place.
Luk 19:4 And running before - With great earnestness. He climbed up - Notwithstanding his quality: desire conquering honour and shame.
Luk 19:5 Jesus said, Zaccheus, make haste and come down - What a strange mixture of passions must Zaccheus have now felt, hearing one speak, as knowing both his name and his heart!
Luk 19:7 They all murmured - All who were near: though most of them rather out of surprise than indignation.
Luk 19:8 And Zaccheus stood - Showing by his posture, his deliberate, purpose and ready mind, and said, Behold, Lord, I give - I determine to do it immediately.
Luk 19:9 He also is a son of Abraham - A Jew born, and as such has a right to the first offer of salvation.
