31. Chapter – Luke 19:4
And having run ahead, he (Zacchaeus) climbed up a sycamore tree to see Him, because He was about to pass by.

Scripture explanations – Jesus’ exposition of several different bible passages
Written down through Jacob Lorber on the 14.02.1844

1. And having run ahead, he (Zacchaeus) climbed up a sycamore tree to see Him, because He was about to pass by.

2. This verse indeed only contains the statement of a fact, and you could conclude, thanks to a previously sent forth teaching, that there would also be a hidden deep meaning, which one can never fathom completely; however, that is not the case here, because it is only practiced by man, and not by the Lord Himself. Nevertheless, this seemingly unimportant scene has an inner and spiritual meaning, and for that reason, it is mentioned in the gospel, because it contains a good applicable teaching for every human being.

3. One or the other of the wise men of the world may say here… What could be hidden behind such a common, ordinary thing? What else did Zacchaeus know from Jesus Christ, than what we know nowadays from a so-called miracle worker.

4. But if we know in advance of a place, where such a miracle worker will pass by, then everybody will come out onto the streets and alleys and everybody will await the entry of this miracle worker with great longing. If there are some easy to climb trees near the street, they will for sure be used by the boys and maybe also by some older, but very curious human beings.

5. What meaning lies within this phenomenon? – Certainly nothing more than the one, which can be grasped with the hands, namely… that several curious dandies also wanted to see the miracle worker!

6. The moral of this could therefore only be… Listen, you boys and curious men, as well as you short ones, who are not able to look over the tall cads. Try to take possession of a tree as early as possible, when such an occasion is coming up, so that you may be able to satisfy your eyes, without considering, that if by heeding this moral, some of the trees would be damaged.

7. Here we have an interpretation, as the world would give it. Therefore, I gave it here beforehand, to make it easier for the world, to satirize (agitate, make fun of) with their assessment of my interpretations, which are incomprehensible for them.

8. But we want to see now, what completely different meaning and moral is contained within this simple text. We want to start this explanation as odd as possible, as well as sending the practical part ahead and then let the theoretic part be understood by itself so to speak.

9. And therefore I say… The entire world is full of Zacchaeuses, and you yourself are one of them! Therefore, do what he did, and then I’ll say and do to you as well, what I said and did to Zacchaeus. The path that I choose to walk with My Own is known to you, you are, like Zacchaeus, sinful tax collectors of the world.

10. But what did Zacchaeus do to see Me along the path? – He was a short person, he ran ahead and climbed on a sycamore tree, which means as much as… The sinful human being recognized his unworthiness before Me, he was full of humility and corresponded to the tax collector in the temple, which also did not dare to raise his head.

11. However, humility is the main sustenance of love. The love grows stronger and mightier towards the one, before which she feels her great unworthiness! The more unworthy she feels, the more she will be drawn towards Him, because her respect grows to the extent, as she lowers herself in her own eyes. Such a love then only thinks about the one whom she holds dearest and greatly respects as her highest good.
