Contextual Overview
1 And he entered and passed through Jericho. And behold a man named Zaccheus, who was the chief of the publicans. 2 Now this was a rich man. 3 And he sought to see Jesus who he was, and could not for the croud, because he was little of stature. 4 And running before, he climbed into a sycamore tree, to see him, for he was to pass by that way. 5 And Jesus, when he came to the place, looking up saw him, and said to him, Zaccheus, make haste and come down; for to day I must abide at thy house. 6 And he made haste and came down, and received him joyfully. 7 And seeing it, they all murmured, saying, He is gone to be guest with a sinner. 8 And Zaccheus stood and said to the Lord, Behold, Lord, the half of my goods I give to the poor, and if I have taken any thing from any man wrongfully, I restore him fourfold. 9 And Jesus said to him, To day is salvation come to this house; forasmuch as he also is a son of Abraham. 10 For the Son of man is come to seek and to save that which was lost.

Gill's Notes on the Bible
And when they saw it,.... The Vulgate Latin, Syriac, and Arabic versions read, "when they all saw this"; that is, as the Persic version, rather paraphrasing than translating, says, "the men and the multitude that were with him"; the "pharisaical" sort, the priests and Levites, of which there were great numbers in Jericho;
:-.
They all murmured; as the Scribes and Pharisees did, at his eating with publicans and sinners, Luke 15:2.
Saying, that he was gone to be guest with a man that is a sinner; a notorious one, an abandoned profligate creature; one of the worst of sinners, as being a publican, and the chief of them; who had amassed vast riches to himself, by extortion and oppression; and they thought it was not agreeable to the character of an holy man, and a venerable prophet, which Christ bore, to go into such a man's house, eat at his table; and have familiar conversation with him; see Matthew 9:10.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
Murmured - Found fault, complained.
To be a guest - To remain with, or to be entertained by.
A man that is a sinner - All publicans they regarded as great sinners, and the “chief” of the publicans, therefore, they regarded as especially wicked. It would appear also from Zacchaeus’ confession that his character “had been” that of an oppressive man. But the people seemed to forget that he might be a penitent, and that the Messiah came to save that which was lost.
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse Luke 19:7. To 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. Luke 7:37; Luke 7:37.
