Luke 19:7

John Gill's Exposition of the Entire Bible · John Gill (1697–1771) · Public Domain

And when they saw it,.... The Vulgate Latin, Syriac, and Arabic versions read, "when they all saw this"; that is, as the Persic version, rather paraphrasing than translating, says, "the men and the multitude that were with him"; the "pharisaical" sort, the priests and Levites, of which there were great numbers in Jericho;See Gill on "Lu 10:31".

They all murmured; as the Scribes and Pharisees did, at his eating with publicans and sinners, Lu 15:2.
