He passed through Jericho — So that Zaccheus must have lived near the end of the town: the tree was in the town itself. And he was rich — These words seem to refer to the discourse in the last chapter, Luke 18:24-27, particularly to Luke 18:27. Zaccheus is a proof, that it is possible by the power of God for even a rich man to enter into the kingdom of heaven.
