And Jesus said unto him,
This day is salvation come to this house, since he also is a son of Abraham.
All Commentaries on Luke 19:9 Go To Luke 19
Augustine of Hippo
AD 430
“The Son of man came to seek and to save what was lost.” All were lost. From the moment the one man sinned, in whom the whole race was contained, the whole race was lost. One man without sin came. He would save them from sin.
