Gill's Notes on the Bible
And [Jesus] entered, and passed through Jericho. Though the word "Jesus" is not in the original text it is rightly supplied in our version; as it is also in the Syriac, Persic, Ethiopic versions; for of him the words are manifestly spoken: after he had healed the blind man he met with near to Jericho, he entered into it, but made no stay in it, passed through it at once without stopping, though a very populous city; but here he had no work, either to perform miracles, or to convert sinners; though both, before he entered, and after he passed through it.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
And Jesus entered ... - See the notes at Matthew 20:29. This means, perhaps, “he was passing” through Jericho when Zacchaeus saw him. His house was “in” Jericho.
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
CHAPTER XIX.
The conversion of Zaccheus, 1-10.
The parable of the nobleman, his ten servants, and the ten
pounds, 11-27.
Christ sends his disciples for a colt on which he rides into
Jerusalem, 28-40.
He weeps over the city, and foretells its destruction, 41-44.
Goes into the temple, and casts out the buyers and sellers,
45, 46.
The chief priests and the scribes seek to destroy him, but are
afraid of the people, who hear him attentively. 47, 48.
NOTES ON CHAP. XIX.
Verse Luke 19:1. Entered and passed through — Was passing through. Our Lord had not as yet passed through Jericho - he was only passing through it; for the house of Zaccheus, in which he was to lodge, Luke 19:5, was in it.
