Lange's Commentary on the Holy Scriptures: Critical, Doctrinal and Homiletical - Luke 19:1-10

4. Jesus and Zaccheus (Luke 19:1-10)1, 2And Jesus entered and passed through Jericho. And, behold, there was a man named Zaccheus, which was the chief among the publicans [and he was a chief tax-gatherer], 3and he [this man] was rich. And he sought to see Jesus who he was; andcould not for the press, because he was little of stature. 4And he ran before, and climbed up into a sycamore tree to see him; for he was to pass that way. 5And when Jesus came to the place, he looked up, and saw him, and... read more

F.B. Meyer's 'Through the Bible' Commentary - Luke 19:1-10

the Sinner and His Guest Luke 19:1-10 For long, we may suppose, the better things had been striving against the worse in this man’s character. John the Baptist had wielded great influence over Zaccheus’ class and perhaps over himself. Zaccheus was a dissatisfied man. His dishonest acquisitions added to his wealth but subtracted from his peace of mind. He knew that the least he could do would be to repay those whom he had robbed. But his soul required more, and longed for salvation, such as... read more

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - Luke 19:1-48

Zacchaeus was the last convert but one in the ministry of Jesus. Our Lord's method with him is very revealing. He asked for his hospitality, and after receiving it held an unrecorded conversation with him which resulted in the complete revolution of the man's outlook and his activity. It was in this connection that our Lord uttered that supreme word of His ministry, "The Son of Man is come to seek and to save that which was lost." In close connection He uttered the parable of the pounds.... read more

Wells of Living Water Commentary - Luke 19:1-10

Where the Saviour and the Sinner Meet Luke 19:1-10 INTRODUCTORY WORDS 1. A sinner seeking to see the Saviour. The fame of Jesus had swept into all the regions about. Great crowds continually thronged Him. He was constantly teaching and preaching, healing and helping. Many thought that it would be He who would immediately rescue Israel from the curse of Roman tyranny. Others, stirred up by the rulers and leaders of the Jews, swarmed against Christ, to entangle Him in His talk that they might... read more

James Nisbet's Church Pulpit Commentary - Luke 19:10

CHRIST’S MISSION OF MERCY‘The Son of Man is come to seek and to save that which was lost.’ Luke 19:10 The justification of Christ’s conduct towards Zacchæus the publican is threefold:— I. His own nature as ‘the Son of Man.’—This name frequently applied to Christ by Himself, never, in the Gospels, applied to Him by others, possessed peculiar force and peculiar advantages. It declared His special connection with the Jew, and also identified Him with the whole of humanity. The name is a... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Luke 19:1-28

Men Must Live In The Light Of The Coming Of The Son of Man In His Glory (15:1-19:28). Having established in Section 1 that Jesus was born in Bethlehem in the city of David where He was proclaimed ‘Saviour’ and ‘Lord Messiah’; and in Section 2 that as ‘the Son of God’ Jesus had faced His temptations as to what His Messiahship would involve and defeated the Tempter; and that in Section 3 He had proclaimed in parables the secrets of ‘the Kingly Rule of God’; and had in Section 4 taught His... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Luke 19:2-10

The Transformation And Salvation Of An Outcast (19:2-10). In direct contrast with the rich ruler is another man of status. He is a chief public officer. But in contrast with the rich ruler his eyes are opened, and he gladly gives much of his wealth to the poor, and puts right all the wrong he has done. In the chiasmus of the Section he parallels the steward who used his lord’s wealth wisely, and, following the thoughts on using money wisely in preparation for the eternal future in the... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Luke 19:10

“For the Son of man came to seek and to save that which was lost.” And then He described Himself and His saving mission in terms of the parables of the shepherd and the woman with the lost coin in Luke 15:1-10, which in the Section chiasmus was in parallel with the verses that now follow. The emphasis on ‘saving’ indicates an especial reference to the parable of the lost sheep. Jesus is present to deliver. So this section, which begins with the parables describing the search of God for the... read more

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - Luke 19:1-10

Luke 19:1-Daniel : . Lk. here inserts an incident and a parable between Mark 10:52 and Matthew 11:1. Luke 19:1-2 Samuel : . Jesus and Zacchæ us (Lk. only).— The incident is akin to that of Levi, Luke 5:27-Jonah :. The tree which Zacchæ us used was a fig-mulberry, one with a short trunk and horizontal branches. Jesus, seeing him there, probably asked the bystanders who he was, and at once sees a way of redeeming an outcast. He asks hospitality of him, and enjoys it, to the vexation of all,... read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Luke 19:9-10

It is the opinion of some, that by house is here to be understood Zacchaeus and his whole family. Nor can it be denied, but that God, when he poureth out the oil of grace upon the head of a family, maketh some of it to run down to the skirts of his garments. God’s covenant was with Abraham and his seed. There is a blessing upon whole nations, and whole families, where the heads of them receive the gospel; but this is not to be extended beyond some gospel privileges, and the liberty of the means... read more
