Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers - Luke 19:6

(6) Received him joyfully.—The joy is significant as implying previous yearning, a desire for communion with the new Teacher, the wish to sit at His feet and drink in the words of eternal life. read more

Zaccheus: The Advantage of Disadvantages Luke 19:2-3 It was in Jericho a place that had a bad name and has, I believe to this day. Of all men in the city that were spoken against and detested by every citizen of Jericho, probably Zaccheus stood first. To be a publican was bad enough. To be the chief of the publicans was worse still. And to have got rich at it completed the offence. The publican was the representative of foreign power that these proud people could not but detest the collector... read more

CHAPTER 19 CHAPTER 19:1-27 1. The Salvation of Zacchaeus. (Luke 19:1-10 ) 2. The Parable of the Ten Pounds. (Luke 19:11-27 .) Luke 19:1-10 When He drew near to Jericho the Lord healed the blind beggar. The reader will find hints on the meaning of this miracle in the annotations of the Gospel of Mark. (Mark 10:46-52 .) The story of Zacchaeus is not found in the other Synoptics. The Lord is now in Jericho. Zacchaeus (meaning: clean) was the chief tax-gatherer and a rich man. “He sought to... read more

19:2 And, behold, [there was] a man named Zacchaeus, which was the {a} chief among the publicans, and he was rich.(a) The overseer and head of the publicans who were there together: for the publicans were divided into companies, as we may gather from many places in the orations of Cicero. read more

L. M. Grant's Commentary on the Bible - Luke 19:1-48

ZACCHAEUS RECEIVING THE LORD JESUS (vs.1-10) There was yet another man to be rescued from Jericho, the city of the curse (Joshua 6:26). The Lord, in faithful grace, passed through that city, an available Savior for all, but responded to by only a few, for Jericho is a picture of the attractive world that He was about to leave by way of death. Zacchaeus was a rich man among the tax collectors, but his riches did not satisfy him. Hearing of Jesus, he desired to see Him, drawn by the question... read more

James Gray's Concise Bible Commentary - Luke 19:1-48

REJECTION At this point we enter the period of Christ’s formal rejection by His nation with which we have been made acquainted in the other synoptics, and hence we pass on to that which is peculiar to Luke, the conversion of Zaccheus (Luke 19:1-10 ) Jesus never declined an invitation to hospitality, but this is the first instance in which He ever invited himself (Luke 19:5 ). Murmured at for lodging with a “winner,” He justified the act (Luke 19:9-10 ) and then spake the parable of the pounds... read more

Jesus Christ and ZacchæUs Luk 19:1-10 You may build God out of cities, or you may throw open the city gates and bid him welcome with all reverence and thankfulness. You cannot build him out with common masonry. He can crumble our rocky walls to pieces, and drive the ploughshare through the foundations of our fortresses; he can touch the mountains, and they will go up before him as the smoke of incense; wherever mere power is required, God can break us down by a stroke. How then, you will say,... read more

Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary - Luke 19:1

CONTENTS Of Zaccheus the Publican. The Parable of the Talents. Jesus entereth Jerusalem, and goeth immediately to the Temple. Luke 19:1 And Jesus entered and passed through Jericho. I pause over this verse, short as it is, to remark how much in point of doctrine is contained in it. Jesus entered into Jericho, and passed through it. We read of nothing done in it by the Lord in a way of grace. Were there none of the Lord's family here? Time was when a precious jewel of Christ's crown was found in... read more

Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary - Luke 19:2-10

And, behold, there was a man named Zacchaeus, which was the chief among the publicans, and he was rich. And he sought to see Jesus who he was; and could not for the press, because he was little of stature. And he ran before, and climbed up into a sycomore tree to see him: for he was to pass that way. And when Jesus came to the place, he looked up, and saw him, and said unto him, Zacchaeus, make haste, and come down; for today I must abide at thy house. And he made haste, and came down, and... read more
