Luc 19:7 Meaning and Commentary

Luke 19:7

And when they saw it
The Vulgate Latin, Syriac, and Arabic versions read, "when they all saw this"; that is, as the Persic version, rather paraphrasing than translating, says, "the men and the multitude that were with him"; the "pharisaical" sort, the priests and Levites, of which there were great numbers in Jericho; (See Gill on Luke 10:31).

They all murmured;
as the Scribes and Pharisees did, at his eating with publicans and sinners, ( Luke 15:2 ) .

Saying, that he was gone to be guest with a man that is a sinner;
a notorious one, an abandoned profligate creature; one of the worst of sinners, as being a publican, and the chief of them; who had amassed vast riches to himself, by extortion and oppression; and they thought it was not agreeable to the character of an holy man, and a venerable prophet, which Christ bore, to go into such a man's house, eat at his table; and have familiar conversation with him; see ( Matthew 9:10 ) .

5 Jésus étant venu en cet endroit, et levant les yeux, le vit et lui dit: Zachée, hâte-toi de descendre; car il faut que je loge aujourd'hui dans ta maison.
6 Et il descendit promptement, et le reçut avec joie.

9 Et Jésus lui dit: Le salut est entré aujourd'hui dans cette maison, parce que celui-ci est aussi enfant d'Abraham.
