CHAP. XIX.
1 Of Zacheus a Publicane. 11 The ten pieces of money. 28 Christ rideth into Hierusalem with triumph: 41 weepeth ouer it: 45 driueth the buiers and sellers out of the Temple: 47 teaching dayly in it. The rulers would haue destroyed him, but for feare of the people.
1 And Iesus entred, and passed thorow Iericho.
4 And he ranne before, and climed vp into a sycomore tree to see him, for he was to passe that way.
6 And he made haste, and came downe, and receiued him ioyfully.
10 For the sonne of man is come to seeke, and to saue that which was lost.10
12 He said therefore, A certaine noble man went into a farre countrey, to receiue for himselfe a kingdome, and to returne.12
13 And hee called his ten seruants, and deliuered them ten pounds, and said vnto them, Occupy till I come.13
16 Then came the first, saying, Lord, thy pound hath gained ten pounds.
18 And the second came, saying, Lord, thy pound hath gained fiue pounds.
19 And hee said likewise to him, Bee thou also ouer fiue cities.
20 And another came, saying, Lord, behold, here is thy pound which I haue kept layd vp in a napkin:
25 And they said vnto him, Lord, he hath ten pounds.
26 For I say vnto you, That vnto euery one which hath, shalbe giuen, and from him that hath not, euen that hee hath shalbe taken away from him.26
28 ¶ And when he had thus spoken, he went before, ascending vp to Hierusalem.
29 And it came to passe when he was come nigh to Bethphage and Bethanie, at the mount called the mount of Oliues, he sent two of his disciples,29
32 And they that were sent, went their way, and found euen as hee had said vnto them.
33 And as they were loosing the colt, the owners thereof said vnto them, Why loose ye the Colt?
34 And they said, The Lord hath need of him.
36 And as he went, they spread their clothes in the way.
39 And some of the Pharisees from among the multitude saide vnto him, Master, rebuke thy disciples.
41 ¶ And when he was come neere, he beheld the city and wept ouer it,
45 And he went into the Temple, and began to cast out them that solde therein, and them that bought,45
The parable of the Vineyard let out.
48 And could not finde what they might doe: for all the people were very attentiue to heare him.48
View Wesley's Notes for Luke Chapter 19
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, #Lu 18:24 |- 27, particularly to #Lu 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.
19:2 The chief of the publicans - What we would term, commissioner of the customs. A very honourable as well as profitable place.
19:4 And running before - With great earnestness. He climbed up - Notwithstanding his quality: desire conquering honour and shame.
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!
19:7 They all murmured - All who were near: though most of them rather out of surprise than indignation.
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.
19:9 He also is a son of Abraham - A Jew born, and as such has a right to the first offer of salvation.
19:10 #Mt 18:11|.
19:11 They thought the kingdom of God - A glorious temporal kingdom, would immediately appear.
19:12 He went into a far country to receive a kingdom - Christ went to heaven, to receive his sovereign power as wan, even all authority in heaven and earth. #Mt 25:14|; Mr 13:34.
19:13 Trade till I come - To visit the nation, to destroy Jerusalem, to judge the world: or, in a more particular sense, to require thy soul of thee.
19:14 But his citizens - Such were those of Jerusalem, hated him, and sent an embassy after him - The word seems to imply, their sending ambassadors to a superior court, to enter their protest against his being admitted to the regal power. In such a solemn manner did the Jews protest, as it were, before God, that Christ should not reign over them: this man - So they call him in contempt.
19:15 When he was returned - In his glory.
19:23 With interest - Which does not appear to be contrary to any law of God or man. But this is no plea for usury, that is, the taking such interest as implies any degree of oppression or extortion.
19:25 They said - With admiration, not envy.
19:26 #Mt 25:29|; Lu 8:18.
19:27 He went before - The foremost of the company, showing his readiness to suffer.
19:29 He drew nigh to the place where the borders of Bethphage and Bethany met, which was at the foot of the mount of Olives. #Mt 21:1|; Mr 11:1.
19:37 The whole multitude began to praise God - Speaking at once, as it seems, from a Divine impulse, words which most of them did not understand.
19:38 Peace in heaven - God being reconciled to man.
19:39 Rebuke thy disciples - Paying thee this immoderate honour.
19:40 If these should hold their peace, the stones, which lie before you, would cry out - That is, God would raise up some still more unlikely instruments to declare his praise. For the power of God will not return empty.
19:42 O that thou hadst known, at least in this thy day - After thou hast neglected so many. Thy day - The day wherein God still offers thee his blessings.
19:43 Thine enemies shall cast a trench about thee, and compass thee around - All this was exactly performed by Titus, the Roman general.
19:44 And thy children within thee - All the Jews were at that time gathered together, it being the time of the passover. They shall not leave in thee one stone upon another - Only three towers were left standing for a time, to show the former strength and magnificence of the place. But these likewise were afterward levelled with the ground.
19:45 #Mt 21:12|; Mr 11:11.
19:46 #Isa 56:7|.
