And he made haste, and came down, and received him joyfully.
All Commentaries on Luke 19:6 Go To Luke 19
Cornelius a Lapide
AD 1637
And He made haste, and came down—see the prompt obedience of Zacchæus, which deserved salvation—and received Him gladly. Zacchæus received Christ into his house, and Christ in return bestowed on him salvation. "Zacchæus rejoiced," says Euthymius, "because he had not only seen Christ, according to his wish, but because he had also been called by Him, and had received Him as his guest, a thing he had never hoped for."
