# Lu 18:6
\\The Lord said.\\ This is the application of the parable.
(PNT 294)
02551
# Lu 18:7
\\Shall not God avenge his own elect?\\ If an unjust, hard-
hearted judge can be moved by the persistent prayers of a widow,
will not the tender, loving, good Father hear the cries of his
children? Faithful Jews prayed that God would send the Messiah to
avenge them of their enemies.
# Lu 1:74,75
\\Though he beareth long with them.\\ Admittedly the promised
Messianic deliverer had been a long time coming.
(PNT 294 edited)

# Lu 18:8
\\Nevertheless\\ When the "Son of Man" [Messiah] does
finally come to bring justice.
\\Shall he find faith on the earth?\\ A more likely meaning
is "Shall the Son of Man [Messiah], when He comes, find faith
in the land [of Israel]." When Messiah came announcing the
just rule of God, He found little faith in Israel.
# Mt 17:17

# Lu 18:9
\\He spoke this parable,\\ etc. The persons described in this
verse are so much like the Pharisees that we can hardly believe
that they were not. Rabbi Simeon, one of them, said, that if
there were only thirty religious men in the world like Abraham,
he and his son would be two of them; if only two, he and his son
would be those; and if only one, that would be himself.

# Lu 18:10
\\A Pharisee . . . a tax collector.\\ The one the type of
orthodoxy; the other regarded by orthodox Jews a religious
outcast.

# Lu 18:11
\\The Pharisees stood.\\ Stood forth where he could be seen.
\\Prayed thus with himself.\\ Self was the centre of his
thoughts.
\\Not as other men [are].\\ Pride and contempt of others are
manifest.
(PNT 294-295)

# Lu 18:12
\\I fast twice in the week.\\ He enumerates his claims on
God. He is very scrupulous about fasting and paying tithes.
# Le 27:30
(PNT 295)
02557
# Lu 18:13
\\The tax collector, standing afar off.\\ Remote from other
worshippers, like a pariah.
\\Would not lift up so much as [his] eyes.\\ His spirit was
so humble and contrite. The Pharisees probably had both hands
and eyes lifted up.
\\Smote upon his breast.\\ An act denoting sorrow.
\\God be merciful to me a sinner.\\ A humble confession.
(PNT 295)
02558
# Lu 18:14
\\This man went . . . justified.\\ With his sins forgiven.
His prayer was answered; not the proud boasts of the Pharisee.
"This parable teaches us the spirit that should pervade our
prayers. The first parable encourages us to pray, and faint
not. The second reminds us how we ought to pray. Both should be
often pondered by every true Christian."--Ryle.

It was the customs of the Jews to bring their babes to the
synagogue for the rabbi to lay his hands upon and bless. So says
the Talmud.

\\As he had come near to Jericho.\\ This was on his last
journey to Jerusalem, a little more than a week before the
crucifixion. Matthew and Mark also give accounts of the healing
of the blind beggar.

Matthew says there were two blind beggars. "If there were two
there certainly was one." Luke and Mark only name the one who
was most active and earnest. Mark says his name was Bartimaeus.

# Lu 19:1
SUMMARY OF LUKE 19
\\The Entrance into Jerusalem\\
Zacchaeus the Publican
Parable of the Ten Pounds
The Royal Entry into Jerusalem
Weeping in Jerusalem
Cleansing the Temple
\\[Jesus] entered and passed through Jericho.\\ He had
crossed the Jordan at the ford beyond Jericho, and the road from
thence to Jerusalem led through Jericho, "the city of palm
trees," the chief city of all eastern Judea. It stood at the
mouth of the gap in the mountain rampart, through which the road
ascended to Jerusalem, more than 3,000 feet above the plain of
Jericho.
(PNT 297)
02589
# Lu 19:2
\\Zacchaeus . . . the chief among the tax collectors.\\ The
importance of Jericho and its situation would make it an
important centre for the collection of the Roman tribute. At the
head of the publicans engaged in this business was Zacchaeus. He
seems to have had supervision of the district.
\\He was rich.\\ A very suspicious fact in a member of a
class noted for their extortion.
(PNT 297)
02590
# Lu 19:3
\\Sought to see Jesus.\\ Out of curiosity.
(PNT 297)
02591
# Lu 19:4
\\Climbed up upon a sycamore tree.\\ A kind of mulberry fig
with low branches. His shortness of stature and the crowd made
this necessary if he would see Jesus.
(PNT 297)
02592
# Lu 19:5
\\To day I must abide at thy house.\\ Tarry there for the
night. Jesus went there, not for congenial society, but because
his mission was to seek and save the lost.
(PNT 297)
02593
# Lu 19:6
\\Received him joyfully.\\ He did not expect such an honour as
the Great Teacher would stop with one of a class so despised by
the Jews as his own.
(PNT 298)
02594
# Lu 19:7
\\They all murmured.\\ How often these complaints of Jesus
stooping down at the company of sinners are recorded! Now,
however, the crowd expected that at Jerusalem his kingdom would
be proclaimed, but here he is the guest of the chief agent of
the oppressive Roman tribute! Had Christ sought popularity he
would never have gone with Zacchaeus.
(PNT 298)
02595
# Lu 19:8
\\Zacchaeus stood, and said.\\ The record is silent as what
had wrought so great a change. No doubt the Lord had preached to
him.
\\Half of my goods, I give to the poor.\\ What greater proof
of a change of heart! His heart had been on riches; now at once
he consecrates one-half to the relief of suffering.
\\If I have taken any thing from any man by false
\\accusation.\\ He no doubt had, if half that is stated of the
publicans was true.
\\I restore [him] fourfold.\\ Not only what he has taken, but
four times as much. No repentance that does not lead to
restitution is genuine. "If what thou hast taken wrongfully
cannot be restored to those who were wronged, give it to God;
the poor are God's receivers."
(PNT 298)
02596
# Lu 19:9
\\Salvation is come to this house.\\ Because Zacchaeus has
truly repented.
\\Forasmuch as he also is a son of Abraham.\\ Therefore
entitled to a place in the kingdom, according to the narrow
Jewish ideas, but also now shown to be a spiritual son of
Abraham, born not of the flesh, but of the spirit.
# Ga 3:7
(PNT 298)
02597
# Lu 19:10
\\For the Son of man is come to seek and to save.\\ Therefore
he went to lodge with the publicans and the sinner in order to
save.
(PNT 298)
02598
# Lu 19:11
\\Because he was near to Jerusalem.\\ From fifteen to twenty
miles away. The crowd thought that when he reached Jerusalem
"his kingdom would immediately appear"; an earthly kingdom like
that of David. The parable that follows was spoken, in part, to
correct that idea.
(PNT 298)
02599
# Lu 19:12
\\A certain nobleman went into a far country.\\ This parable
resembles that of the Talents, but is different in several
particulars.
# Mt 25:14-30 Mr 13:34-36
\\To receive for himself a kingdom.\\ As Christ would leave
the earth and ascend to heaven before he would receive his
kingdom.
