What Does Luke 19:10 Mean ForThe tiny connective launches us back into the scene with Zacchaeus (Luke 19:1-9). Jesus has just said, “Today salvation has come to this house,” and now He gives the reason. • Luke 19:9 supplies the immediate context, tying the “for” to the arrival of salvation. • Luke 5:31-32 echoes the same logic: the Great Physician goes where the sick are. • John 12:27-28 shows Jesus explaining His impending death with another “for,” grounding every act in His saving purpose. The Son of Man Jesus chooses a title that stresses both His humanity and His messianic authority. • Daniel 7:13-14 pictures “One like a son of man” receiving everlasting dominion—Jesus openly identifies Himself with that prophecy. • Mark 10:45 parallels Luke 19:10, showing that the “Son of Man” came “to give His life as a ransom for many.” • Matthew 26:64 reveals the same figure returning in glory, reminding us that the humble Savior is also the coming Judge. Came This word points to the Incarnation—God stepping into history. • John 1:14: “The Word became flesh and made His dwelling among us.” • Galatians 4:4-5: God sent His Son “born of a woman…to redeem.” • Philippians 2:6-8 traces the downward journey from heaven’s throne to the cross, underlining that Jesus’ coming was deliberate, sacrificial, and timed. To seek Before anyone searches for God, God is already searching for them. • Luke 15:4—lost sheep; Luke 15:8—lost coin; Luke 15:20—lost son: three portraits of relentless pursuit. • Genesis 3:9 shows the pattern from Eden onward: “Where are you?” God initiates. • Revelation 3:20 keeps the offer open: Jesus stands at the door and knocks. And to save Finding is not the finish line; rescue is. • John 3:16-17 declares that the Son was sent “that the world might be saved through Him.” • 1 Timothy 1:15 distills the gospel: “Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners.” • Acts 4:12 reminds us that salvation is found in no one else but Jesus Christ. The lost The word is blunt—people are spiritually dead apart from Christ. • Luke 15:24 frames lostness as death: “This son of mine was dead and is alive again; he was lost and is found.” • Ephesians 2:1 describes every believer’s past: “You were dead in your trespasses and sins.” • Romans 5:8 shows how far God goes for the lost: “While we were still sinners, Christ died for us.” summary Luke 19:10 packs the entire mission of Jesus into one sentence. The royal yet humble “Son of Man” entered our world on purpose—to track down wandering people and bring them safely home through His own saving work. Every healing, every teaching, every step toward the cross lines up under that grand objective: seeking and saving the lost. (10) The Son of man is come to seek and to save that which was lost.--Like words had been spoken once before, under circumstances that presented a very striking contrast to those now before us. Then the loving purpose of the Christ had for its object the "little child," as yet untouched by the world's offences (Matthew 18:2; Matthew 18:11): now it rested on the publican, whose manhood had been marred by them. The same law of work is reproduced in a more emphatic form. There it had been that He "came to save:" here it is that He came to "seek" as well.Verse 10. - For the Son of man is come to seek and to save that which was lost. A quiet rebuke to the Pharisees and priests and their followers, who would limit the redeemed. Surely the "publicans" and the great tempted mass of mankind needed him more than the happy privileged class. It was for the sake of these poor wandering sheep that he left his home of grandeur and peace. But there was a vein of sad irony running through these words of the Master. Between the lines we seem to read some such thoughts as these: "You know, O priests and Pharisees, you do not want me. You think you are safe already. But these poor despised ones, they want, they welcome me, like this Zacchaeus." This, too, was a lesson for all time. This scene probably took place the evening of the Lord's arrival at Zacchaeus's house at Jericho, after the evening meal, when the room arid court of the house were filled with guests and curious spectators. Dean Plumptre has an interesting suggestion that Zacchaeus the publican was one and the same with the publican of Luke 18:10-14, who in the temple "smote upon his breast, saying, God be merciful to me a sinner! Is it too bold a conjecture that he who saw Nathanael under the fig tree (John 1:48) had seen Zacchaeus in the temple, and that the figure in the parable of Luke 18:14 was in fact a portrait?"Parallel Commentaries ...
