Jericho was a prosperous trade center during Jesus' time, known for its palm trees and balsam groves. Jesus' journey through Jericho is part of His final trip to Jerusalem, highlighting the importance of His mission and the divine timing of His encounters.He looked up and said Jesus' action of looking up signifies His awareness and intentionality. Despite the crowd, Jesus notices Zacchaeus, demonstrating His ability to see beyond physical appearances and social status. This reflects God's omniscience and personal attention to individuals, as seen in <a href="/psalms/139.htm">Psalm 139:1-4</a>, where God knows each person intimately.“Zacchaeus, hurry down By calling Zacchaeus by name, Jesus shows His personal knowledge and care for him, echoing the shepherd's call in <a href="/john/10-3.htm">John 10:3</a>, where the sheep recognize the shepherd's voice. The urgency in "hurry down" suggests the immediacy of God's call and the importance of responding promptly to divine invitations, as seen in <a href="/hebrews/3-15.htm">Hebrews 3:15</a>, which warns against hardening one's heart.for I must stay at your house today.” The word "must" indicates divine necessity, aligning with Jesus' mission to seek and save the lost (<a href="/luke/19-10.htm">Luke 19:10</a>). Staying at Zacchaeus' house signifies acceptance and fellowship, breaking cultural norms, as tax collectors were despised. This act prefigures the inclusivity of the Gospel, as seen in <a href="/acts/10-34.htm">Acts 10:34-35</a>, where God shows no partiality.

(See Note on <a href="/luke/10-30.htm" title="And Jesus answering said, A certain man went down from Jerusalem to Jericho, and fell among thieves, which stripped him of his raiment, and wounded him, and departed, leaving him half dead.">Luke 10:30</a>.) Our Lord passed over their houses, and those of the Pharisees, in order to pass the night in the house of the publican.

Jericho was one of the cities of the priests, and yet our Lord, setting public opinion at defiance, passed over their houses, and announced his intention of lodging for the night with one whose life's occupation was so hateful to the Jewish religious world. The Master recognized in the intense eagerness of Zacchaeus to get a sight of him, and possibly a word from him, that it was in the chief publican's house where lay his Father's business for him in Jericho. <a href="/commentaries/luke/19-5.htm">Parallel Commentaries ...</a> <a name="lexicon" id="lexicon"></a><div class="vheading">Greek</div>When Καὶ (Kai) Conjunction <a href="/greek/strongs_2532.htm">Strong's 2532: </a> And, even, also, namely.
