Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Luke 19:48

Luke 19:48. All the people were very attentive to hear him.— They hung as it were on his lips while he spake, is the literal import of the original. Inferences drawn from the history of Zaccheus, Luke 19:1-10.—In this pleasing narrative Zaccheus the publican sets an example particularly of two great and important Christian duties, namely, restitution, and almsgiving; which calls upon us to consider how far we are obliged to follow it. As to the first we may observe, that Zaccheus, by a conduct... read more

B. The beginning of Jesus’ ministry in Jerusalem 19:41-48This is a transitional section that bridges Jesus’ approach to the city and His teaching in it. Luke first recorded Jesus weeping over the city from outside its walls because He knew what lay before its people. Then the writer wrote of Jesus cleansing the temple and teaching there. read more

3. A synopsis of Jesus’ teaching in the temple 19:47-48 (cf. Mark 11:18)Luke stressed the rejection and hostility of the Jewish leaders toward Jesus as He taught daily in the temple courtyards. The common people, however, were very receptive to His instruction. This contrast between popular acceptance and official opposition has characterized Luke’s narrative. The writer evidently included it to show his readers that average people with no vested interests at stake have always been open to the... read more

(45-48) And he went into the temple.—See Notes on Matthew 21:12-17; Mark 11:15-19. St. Luke apparently agrees with St. Matthew in thinking of the expulsion of the money-changers as taking place on the same day as the Entry. His narrative is here the least descriptive of the three. read more

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers - Luke 19:48

(48) All the people were very attentive to hear him.—Literally, hung upon him as they heard. The Greek phrase is another of the words characteristic of St. Luke. Its force may be gathered by its use in the Greek version of Genesis 44:30, where it stands for “his life is bound up in” (or, hangs upon) “the lad’s 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
