Charles Spurgeon Commentary Luke 19:9

"And Jesus said unto him, To-day is salvation come to this house, forasmuch as he also is a son of Abraham." — Luke 19:9 (ASV)

And Jesus said unto him, This day is salvation come to this house, forsomuch as he also is a son of Abraham. (Luke 19:9)

"He does not look like it. He has become a tax-gatherer for the Romans, and he has oppressed his own countrymen. But he is a son of Abraham, and salvation has come to him."

And Jesus said unto him, This day is salvation come to this house, forsomuch as he also is a son of Abraham.

When our Lord was here, his personal mission as a soul-winner was to the Jews, to those who were of the house of Abraham; so he shows that however much despised this man might be, he came within the scope of Christ's immediate mission: forsomuch as he also is a son of Abraham.
