Jesus said unto him--but also before all.
This day, &c.--memorable saying! Salvation already come, but not a day old.
to this house--so expressed probably to meet the taunt, "He is gone to be guest," &c. The house is no longer polluted; it is now fit to receive Me. But salvation to a house is an exceedingly precious idea, expressing the new air that would henceforth breathe in it, and the new impulses from its head which would reach its members (Psa 118:15; Act 16:15-16, Act 16:31).
son of Abraham--He was that by birth, but here it means a partaker of his faith, being mentioned as the sufficient explanation of salvation having come to him. |
| Notes on the Bible, by Albert Barnes, [1834] |
Salvation is come to this house - This family. They have this day received the blessings of the gospel, and become interested in the Messiah's kingdom. Salvation "commences" when people truly receive Christ and their sins are pardoned; it is "completed" when the soul is sanctified and received up into heaven.
Forasmuch - Because. For he has given "evidence" that he is a new man, and is disposed to forsake his sins and receive the gospel.
The son of Abraham - Hitherto, although a Jew, yet he has been a sinner, and a great sinner. He was not worthy to be called a son of Abraham. Now, by repentance, and by receiving the Christ whose day Abraham saw and was glad Joh 8:56, he has shown himself to be worthy to be called his son. Abraham was an example of distinguished piety; the father of the faithful Rom 4:11, as well as the ancestor of the Jews. They were called his sons who were descended from him, and particularly they who "resembled" him. In this place the phrase is used in both senses. |

salvation
(See Scofield) - (Rom 1:16). |
| Explanatory Notes on the Whole Bible, by John Wesley [1754-65] |
| He also is a son of Abraham - A Jew born, and as such has a right to the first offer of salvation. |

Jesus said unto him - Bishop Pearce observes: "Probably Luke wrote αυτους, not αυτον, said unto them, i.e. to those who had before called Zaccheus a sinner; (Luk 19:7); for Jesus here speaks of Zaccheus in the third person, he also is a son of Abraham, and therefore he was not then speaking to him." This conjecture of this respectable prelate is supported by the margin of the later Syriac, and by every copy of the Itala but two.
To this house - Τῳ οικῳ τουτῳ, To this very house or family. As if he had said: "If he be a sinner, he stands in the greater need of salvation, and the Son of man is come to seek and save what was lost, Luk 19:10; and therefore to save this lost soul is a part of my errand into the world." See the sentiment contained in this verse explained on Mat 18:11 (note). |
31 And [1161] they said [2036], Believe [4100] on [1909] the Lord [2962] Jesus [2424] Christ [5547], and [2532] thou [4771] shalt be saved [4982], and [2532] thy [4675] house [3624].
15 And [1161] when [5613] she was baptized [907], and [2532] her [846] household [3624], she besought [3870] us, saying [3004], If [1487] ye have judged [2919] me [3165] to be [1511] faithful [4103] to the Lord [2962], come [1525] into [1519] my [3450] house [3624], and abide [3306] there. And [2532] she constrained [3849] us [2248].
16 And [1161] it came to pass [1096], as we [2257] went [4198] to [1519] prayer [4335], a certain [5100] damsel [3814] possessed [2192] with a spirit [4151] of divination [4436] met [528] us [2254], which [3748] brought [3930] her [846] masters [2962] much [4183] gain [2039] by soothsaying [3132]:
15 The voice [06963] of rejoicing [07440] and salvation [03444] is in the tabernacles [0168] of the righteous [06662]: the right hand [03225] of the LORD [03068] doeth [06213] valiantly [02428].
11 And [2532] he received [2983] the sign [4592] of circumcision [4061], a seal [4973] of the righteousness [1343] of the faith [4102] which [3588] he had yet being [1722] uncircumcised [203]: that [1519] he [846] might be [1511] the father [3962] of all [3956] them that believe [4100], though [1223] they be not circumcised [203]; that [1519] righteousness [1343] might be imputed [3049] unto them [846] also [2532]:
56 Your [5216] father [3962] Abraham [11] rejoiced [21] to [2443] see [1492] my [1699] day [2250]: and [2532] he saw [1492] it, and [2532] was glad [5463].
16 For [1063] I am [1870] not [3756] ashamed [1870] of the gospel [2098] of Christ [5547]: for [1063] it is [2076] the power [1411] of God [2316] unto [1519] salvation [4991] to every one [3956] that believeth [4100]; to the Jew [2453] first [4412], and [5037] also [2532] to the Greek [1672].
11 For [1063] the Son [5207] of man [444] is come [2064] to save [4982] that which [3588] was lost [622].
10 For [1063] the Son [5207] of man [444] is come [2064] to seek [2212] and [2532] to save [4982] that which was lost [622].
7 And [2532] when they saw [1492] it, they [1234] all [537] murmured [1234], saying [3004], That [3754] he was gone [1525] to be guest [2647] with [3844] a man [435] that is a sinner [268].
