(7) They all murmured.--Better, were all murmuring. It is significant that the murmur was not confined to a special section of rigorous Pharisees, but came from the whole crowd. The chief publican was clearly not popular, and probably the priestly tone of the place (see Note on Luke 19:5) gave additional strength to all caste feelings. We are carried forward in this verse from the promise to the performance. Our Lord was in the house when the murmurs found expression. With a man that is a sinner. --The term was obviously used from the popular Pharisaic stand-point, as attaching necessarily to the calling of Zacchaeus. He had placed Himself on a level with the heathen or the vilest Jew, and ought to be treated accordingly.Verse 7. - They all murmured. This very inclusive statement, "they all," shows the general intensely Jewish spirit of the age, narrow and sectarian. The people could not imagine goodness, or earnestness, or generosity in one who served the hateful Roman power. Probably in priestly Jericho this stern exclusive spirit was especially dominant. Luke 19:7 captures the crowd’s self-righteous objection to Jesus’ gracious pursuit of Zacchaeus. Their public grumbling exposes hearts unwilling to celebrate mercy. Jesus, however, intentionally seeks out the sinner, entering his home and offering fellowship that leads to repentance and salvation. The verse challenges readers to reject murmuring and rejoice that Christ still chooses to dwell with those who know they need Him.Parallel Commentaries ...
