Luke 19:1

1 And Jesus going in, walked through Jericho.

Luke 19:1 Meaning and Commentary

Luke 19:1

And [Jesus] entered, and passed through Jericho.
] Though the word "Jesus" is not in the original text it is rightly supplied in our version; as it is also in the Syriac, Persic, Ethiopic versions; for of him the words are manifestly spoken: after he had healed the blind man he met with near to Jericho, he entered into it, but made no stay in it, passed through it at once without stopping, though a very populous city; but here he had no work, either to perform miracles, or to convert sinners; though both, before he entered, and after he passed through it.

Luke 19:1 In-Context

1 And Jesus going in, walked through Jericho.
2 And lo! a man, Zacchaeus by name, and this was [and he was] a prince of publicans, and he was rich.
3 And he sought to see Jesus, who he was, and he might not, for the people [for the company of people], for he was little in stature.
4 And he ran before, and ascended [up] into a sycamore tree, to see him; for he was to pass from thence [for he was to pass thence].
5 And Jesus beheld up, when he came to the place, and saw him, and said to him, Zacchaeus, haste thee, and come down, for to day I must dwell in thine house.
