Context — Jesus and Zacchaeusgenerated

6So Zacchaeus hurried down and welcomed Him joyfully.
7And all who saw this began to grumble, saying, “He has gone to be the guest of a sinful man!”
8But Zacchaeus stood up and said to the Lord, “Look, Lord, half of my possessions I give to the poor, and if I have cheated anyone, I will repay it fourfold.”
9Jesus said to him, “Today salvation has come to this house, because this man too is a son of Abraham.

Luke 19:7 captures the crowd's reaction to Jesus choosing to stay with Zacchaeus, a tax collector viewed as a sinner. This event illustrates the tension between Jesus' inclusive ministry and the societal norms of the time. The crowd's grumbling reveals their inability to understand Jesus' purpose of seeking and saving the lost, as He later explains in Luke 19:10.

The Key Word διεγόγγυζον, diagonguzōgenerated

The verb διεγόγγυζον is an imperfect active indicative form, meaning 'they were grumbling' or 'murmuring.' It indicates ongoing action, reflecting the crowd's persistent dissatisfaction with Jesus' actions.

This word conveys a sense of collective discontent, as it describes a group expressing their complaints quietly among themselves, rather than openly confronting Jesus.


How Translations Differ — measured against the Berean Standard Biblegenerated

The verse is rendered in the Berean Standard Bible as 'And all who saw this began to grumble, saying, “He has gone to be the guest of a sinful man!”' This wording is consistent across many translations.

However, where translations differ is in the rendering of the Greek words. For example, ἰδόντες is translated as 'saw' in the BSB and 'having seen' in the YLT, while πάντες is uniformly translated as 'all' in most versions, but ULB opts for 'everyone.' The word ἁμαρτωλῷ appears as 'sinner' in several translations, while the BSB and others use 'a sinful.'


Sentence Structuregenerated

The main clause of the verse is governed by the verb διεγόγγυζον, they were grumbling, with two participial phrases providing context: ἰδόντες (having seen) and λέγοντες (saying). This structure emphasizes the crowd's reaction and their subsequent expression of discontent.

The subject of the main verb is πάντες (all), which indicates that the entire group was involved in the grumbling. The sentence builds a picture of collective murmuring, highlighting the shared sentiment of the crowd.


Septuagint Backgroundgenerated

διεγόγγυζον does not have a direct equivalent in the Septuagint, but the concept of murmuring or complaining can be related to the Hebrew word לוּן (H3885), which means to lodge or pass the night. This connection emphasizes the idea of discontentment in a communal context.

The usage of ἁμαρτωλῷ in this verse reflects a similar sentiment found in the Septuagint, where it translates the Hebrew words for 'wicked' or 'sinner,' reinforcing the idea of social stigma associated with certain individuals.


In plain words — the whole versegenerated

Luke 19:7 shows how the crowd reacted negatively when they saw Jesus go to the house of Zacchaeus, a tax collector whom they considered sinful. They began to grumble among themselves, expressing their disapproval of Jesus' choice to associate with someone they deemed unworthy.


Frequently Asked Questionsgenerated

Why did the crowd grumble about Jesus going to Zacchaeus' house?

The crowd grumbled because they viewed Zacchaeus as a sinner and were displeased that Jesus chose to associate with him, reflecting their judgmental attitudes.

What does the term 'sinful man' imply in this context?

The term 'sinful man' implies that Zacchaeus was seen as morally corrupt or unrighteous, particularly because he was a tax collector, a profession often associated with greed and betrayal in Jewish society.

How does this verse reflect Jesus' ministry?

This verse reflects Jesus' ministry of reaching out to the marginalized and sinners, challenging societal norms and demonstrating that His message of salvation is for all, regardless of their past.

What can we learn from the crowd's reaction?

We can learn about the dangers of judgment and exclusion, recognizing that Jesus calls us to love and accept others, even those whom society may reject.


Reflection Questionsgenerated

  1. How do I respond when I see someone whom society deems unworthy receiving kindness or attention?
  2. In what ways can I challenge my own biases and judgments towards others?
  3. What does it mean to me that Jesus seeks out those who are marginalized?
  4. How can I embody the love of Christ to those who feel rejected or unwelcome?

All here must not be taken for every individual person, that is not to be presumed either of all the inhabitants of Jericho, or, much less, of all that were in Christ’ s company: amongst others Mary Magdalene was at this time in his company, who had no reason to murmur at that. But of what sort of people were these murmurers? The voice is the voice of Pharisees, who had often quarrelled at Christ for this, and of their disciples; for there were multitudes of the Jews that had drunk in the superstitions of that faction, and were more afraid of keeping company with sinners, than themselves being so; of having fellowship with their excommunicates in their houses, than of having fellowship with…

(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 Zacchæus.

The earliest translations — Latin and Syriac

Every translation is an argument about meaning made by someone who had to commit to one. These two were made while the Greek was still a living language, and they are the oldest opinions we have about what this verse says.

Latin VulgateAD 382–405

Et cum viderent omnes, murmurabant, dicentes quod ad hominem peccatorem divertisset.

Jerome revised the Old Latin against the Greek from AD 382; the Latin west read this text for a thousand years.

ܟܕ ܚܙܘ ܕܝܢ ܟܠܗܘܢ ܪܛܢܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܘܐܡܪܝܢ ܕܠܘܬ ܓܒܪܐ ܚܛܝܐ ܥܠ ܫܪܐ

The Bible of the Syriac-speaking church, in the language nearest to the Aramaic Jesus spoke.

Shown verse by verse rather than word by word: aligning a Greek word to its Latin or Syriac counterpart automatically would be guesswork, and a wrong alignment is worse than none.

καί (kai) is a conjunction meaning 'and,' used to connect words, phrases, and clauses. It serves various functions, including copulative and adjunctive uses, and can express cumulative ideas like 'also' or 'even.' The New Testament frequently employs it to link terms and sentences, as seen in verses like Matthew 2:18 and John 10:3. Abbott-Smith notes its use in both simple and complex structures, while Thayer emphasizes its role as the most common particle in the New Testament.

The Greek word οἶδα (i.e., *oida*) is derived from the root of εἶδον (i.e., *eidon*), meaning 'to see' or 'to perceive.' It primarily conveys the idea of knowing or having knowledge, often used in contexts where one has seen or understood something. The New Testament employs it in various constructions, indicating knowledge of things, people, or concepts.

The Greek word πᾶς (i.e., *pas*) means 'all' or 'every' and appears in various forms, including masculine, feminine, and neuter. It is used in the New Testament to denote totality, as in 'all things' or 'every kind,' and can function as an adjective or pronoun. Notably, it can also imply 'the whole' when used with definite articles, as seen in verses like Matthew 28:18.

The Greek word διαγογγύζω (i.e., *diagogguzō*) is built from the prefix διά and the root γογγύζω, meaning to murmur or mutter among a group. It is used in the New Testament to describe collective complaints, specifically in Luke 15:2 and 19:7. The lexicons consistently emphasize its connotation of indignation among many.

λέγω (legō) is a primary Greek verb meaning 'to say' or 'to speak.' It encompasses a range of uses, including expressing thoughts, making declarations, and narrating events. The New Testament frequently employs it in direct speech and as a way to convey meaning, such as in Matthew 27:11. Abbott-Smith notes its distinction from similar verbs like λαλέω.

Trench, Synonyms of the New Testament — λαλέω, λέγω, λαλιά, λόγος from a scan

In dealing with synonyms of the N. T. we plainly need not concern ourselves with such earlier, or even contemporary, uses of the words which we are discriminating, as lie altogether outside of the N. T. sphere, when these uses do not illustrate, and have not affected, their Scriptural employment. It follows from this that all those contemptuous uses of λαλεῖν as to talk at random, as one ἀθυρόστομος, or with no door to his lips, might do; of λαλιά, as chatter («Kpacia λόγου ἄλογος, Plato, Defin. 416)—for I cannot believe that we are to find this at John iv. 42—may be dismissed and set aside. The antithesis in the line of Eupolis (Meineke, /ragm. Com. Gr. p. 174), Λαλεῖν ἄριστος, ἀδυνατώτατος λέγειν, does little or nothing to illustrate the matter in hand. The distinction which indeed exists between the words may in this way be made clear. There are two leading aspects under which speech…

The Greek word ὅτι (hoti) is a conjunction primarily meaning 'that' or 'because.' It introduces objective clauses, often following verbs of perception or declaration, and can also serve as a causal particle. The New Testament frequently employs it in this way, such as in Matthew 5:4-12. There is some variation in how lexicons describe its usage, particularly regarding its pleonastic function in direct discourse.

παρά is a preposition that conveys the idea of proximity, meaning 'beside' or 'from the side of.' It can take the genitive, dative, or accusative case, indicating source, location, or motion towards something. In the New Testament, it appears in contexts involving relationships, such as 'his family' (Mk 3:21) or 'from God' (Jn 9:16). The lexicons do not show significant disagreement on its usage.

The Greek word ἁμαρτωλός (i.e., *hamartolos*) means 'sinful' or 'a sinner.' It is derived from the verb ἁμαρτάνω and is used in the New Testament to refer to all people as sinners, as well as to those particularly wicked. Notably, it appears in verses like Matthew 9:10-13. The lexicons indicate a range of meanings from general sinfulness to specific vices.

Abbott-Smith, Manual Greek Lexicon of the NT

ἁμαρτωλός, -όν

(< ἁμαρτάνω),

[in LXX chiefly for רשׁﬠ;]

ἁμαρτωλός, -ov, (fr. the form ἁμάρτω, as φείδωλος from φείδομαι), devoted to sin, a (masc. or fem.) sinner. In the N.

In this sense all men are sinners; as, Mt. ix.13; Mk. 1.17; Lk. vy. 8, 32; xiii. 2; xviii. 13; Ro. iii. 7; v.[8],19; 1 Tim.i.15; Heb. vii. 306.

ἀνήρ. The special differentia of ἀνήρ : ἄνθρωπος survives in MGr (ἄντρας, ἄθρωπος), where even the old gen. sing. (ἀντρός) may still be found beside the ‘‘regular” τοῦ ἄντρα (Thumb Handbook, p. 48). Naturally there is nothing particular to record in the uses of this everyday word, which has in NT and Hellenistic generally much the same range as in class. Gk. Thus, taking the index to BGU IV., we can illustrate many of the uses noted for the NT in Grimm from documents of the Augustan period. So (1) husband by the perpetual phrase μετὰ κυρίου τοῦ ἀνδρός after the name of a woman, as 1126* (where ἀνδρός is written over an erased ὁμομητρίου ἀδελφοῦ), or in a marriage contract as τορϑ τηρεῖν τὰ πρὸς τὸν ἄνδρᾳ καὶ τὸν κοινὸν βίον δίκαια, while the document will also use ἀνήρ for irregular relations in the pledge μηδ᾽ ἄλλωι ἀνδρὶ συνεῖναι.

Man

(1.) Heb. ‘Adam, used as the proper name of the first man. The name is derived from a word meaning “to be red,” and thus the first man was called Adam because he was formed from the red earth. It is also the generic name of the human race (Gen. 1:26, 27; 5:2; 8:21; Deut. 8:3). Its equivalents are the Latin homo and the Greek anthropos (Matt. 5:13, 16). It denotes also man in opposition to woman (Gen. 3:12; Matt. 19:10).

(2.) Heb. ‘ish, like the Latin vir and Greek aner, denotes properly a man in opposition to a woman (1 Sam. 17:33;

The Greek word εἰσέρχομαι (*eiserchomai*) means to enter, either literally or figuratively. It is composed of the prefix εἰς (into) and the root ἔρχομαι (to come). This term is used in various contexts in the New Testament, including entering a house (Matthew 8:5) or the kingdom of God (Matthew 7:13). It can also refer to entering into states of being or experiences, such as hope or temptation.

καταλύω (kataluō) means to destroy or demolish, as well as to lodge or take up quarters. It is built from the prefix κατα- (down) and the root λύω (to loosen). The New Testament uses it in contexts of physical destruction, such as the temple (Matthew 24:2), and metaphorically to refer to nullifying laws (Matthew 5:17).
