LUKE Chap. XIX. from the beginning to Ver. 29. Zaccheus a Publican converted.
THe order lies plain in ver. 1. Christ was passed through Jericho before he met with Zaccheus, &c. Rabban Jochanan ben Zaccai, hath made the name Zaccai or Zacche∣us renowned in Jewish writings: his Father Zaccai might very well be now alive, and for any difference of the times might well enough be the Zaccheus before us, but that some
other circumstances do contradict it. Whosoever this man was, it is observable, that though his name Zaccheus speak him a Jew, yet Christ reputes him not a Child of Abraham till he believe, ver. 19.
Ver. 11. They thought that the Kingdom of Heaven should immediately appear. Observe this: this they had learned from Dan. 9. where the time is so punctually determined, that they that looked for the consolation of Israel could not but observe it, and they that obser∣ved, could not but see it now accomplished.
