Commentaries on Luke 19:7
- Adam Clarke Bible Commentary · v. 7To be guest with a man that is a sinner - Meaning either that he was a heathen, or, though by birth a Jew, yet as bad as a heathen, because of his unholy and oppressive office. See the note on Luke 7:37.Read the comment
- Barnes’ Notes on the Bible · v. 7Murmured - Found fault, complained. To be a guest - To remain with, or to be entertained by.

This mighty change, however, was all unknown to them. But they shall know it presently. "Sinner" would refer both to his office, vile in the eyes of a Jew, and to his character, which it is evident was not good.Read the comment
