Luke 19:1

διήρχετο : the incident occurred when Jesus was passing through Jericho, precisely where, not indicated. ὀνόματι καλούμενος, called by name, as in Luke 1:61; a Hebraism, ὀνόματι superfluous. Ζακ., ἀρχιτ., πλούσιος : name, occupation, social standing. Zacchaeus = the pure one, but not so intended; chief publican; probably a head man or overseer over the local collectors of taxes, of whom there might be a goodly number in Jericho, with its balsam trade, and traffic from the eastern to the western side of Jordan.
