Luke 19:9-48 ASV

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Luke 19:41

And when he was come near, he beheld city ,.... Of Jerusalem; being now nearer, and in a situation to take a full view of it, he lift up his eyes, and looking wistfully on it, and beholding the grandeur and magnificence of it, the number of the houses, and the stately structures in it, and knowing what calamities, in a few years, would come upon it; with which being affected, as man, he looked upon it, and wept over it ; touched with a tender concern for it, his natural passions moved,... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Luke 19:42

Saying, if thou hadst, known, even thou ,.... As well as other cities; or who hast been so long a flourishing city, the metropolis of the nation, the seat of the ancient kings of Judah; yea, the city of the great God, the place of divine worship, whither the tribes came up, time after time, to serve the Lord; a city so highly honoured of God and man: or, who hast despised the messages of the servants of God, mocked and misused the prophets in time past, beat one, killed another, and stoned... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Luke 19:43

For the days shall come upon thee ,.... Suddenly, and very quickly, as they did within forty years after this: that thine enemies ; the Romans, and such the Jews took them to be, and might easily understand who our Lord meant: shall cast a trench about thee, and compass thee round, and keep thee in on every side : which was not only verified in the Roman armies closely besieging them; but particularly in this, as Josephus relates F20 De Bello Jud. l. 6. c. 8. that Titus built a... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Luke 19:44

And shall lay thee even with the ground ,.... Beat down all the houses in it, the stately edifices, and even the temple itself; See Gill on Matthew 24:2 . and thy children within thee ; that is, the inhabitants of the place should be slain with the sword of the enemy, and so fall to the ground, and lie upon it; and they shall not leave in thee one stone upon anther ; such a consummate, and entire desolation shall be made, as was foretold by Daniel, Daniel 9:27 because thou... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Luke 19:45

And he went into the temple ,.... Being come into the city, he alighted from the colt he rode on, and having committed it to the care of a proper person to return it to the owner, he went up directly to the temple, of which he was the Lord and proprietor, and where he had some work to do the few days he had to live. And began to cast out them that sold therein, and them that bought ; that traded in sheep, and oxen, and doves; see John 2:15 . The Ethiopic version adds here, as there,... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Luke 19:46

Saying unto them, it is written ,.... In Isaiah 56:7 my house is the house of prayer ; built and devoted for that service: but ye have made it a den of thieves ; which clause is not written in the above prophecy, but are the words of Christ referring to Jeremiah 7:11 . The Ethiopic version adds, "and robbers"; and the Persic version adds, "and a place of cut-purses"; See Gill on Matthew 21:13 . read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Luke 19:47

And he taught daily in the temple ,.... Every day till the passover came, and only in the day; for at night he went out of the city to Bethany, or to the Mount of Olives: some of his discourses in the temple, the parables he delivered, and his disputations with the doctors, are recorded in Matthew 21:27 , but the chief priests, and the Scribes, and the chief of the people ; or "the elders of the people", as the Syriac version renders it; that is, the whole sanhedrim: sought to... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Luke 19:48

And could not find what they might do ,.... The Vulgate Latin, Syriac, and Ethiopic versions, and so Beza's most ancient copy, add, "to him"; they could not find an opportunity of seizing him, nor any advantage against him; they knew not what steps to take, nor how to bring about their wicked design of destroying him. For all the people were very attentive to hear him ; there were great crowds always about him, that hung upon him, as the word rendered "attentive" signifies; they heard... read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Luke 19:9

Jesus said unto him - Bishop Pearce observes: "Probably Luke wrote αυτους , not αυτον , said unto them, i.e. to those who had before called Zaccheus a sinner; ( Luke 19:7 ;); for Jesus here speaks of Zaccheus in the third person, he also is a son of Abraham, and therefore he was not then speaking to him." This conjecture of this respectable prelate is supported by the margin of the later Syriac, and by every copy of the Itala but two. To this house - Τῳ οικῳ τουτῳ , To this... read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Luke 19:11

And as they heard these things - I believe the participle of the present tense, here, is used for the participle of the past, or rather that the participle of the present conveys sometimes the sense of the past; for this discourse appears to have taken place the next day after he had lodged at the house of Zaccheus; for the text says that he was then drawing nigh to Jerusalem, from which Jericho was distant nineteen miles. I have not ventured to translate it so, yet I think probably the text... read more
