Jericho
Today: Jericho (Ariha), West Bank
A city in the Jordan valley, about 15 miles (25 km) northeast of Jerusalem and not far from the river.
It was the first city Israel took in Canaan; its walls fell (Josh 6:20). Centuries later Jesus passed through Jericho and saved Zacchaeus (Luke 19:1-10).
The context
1 · This verse (above)
2And look, there was a man called by name Zacchaeus; and he was a chief tax collector, and he was rich.
To study Luke 19 in a group
1. What it says
What does Zacchaeus do to see Jesus, what does Jesus say to him, and what does Zacchaeus promise afterward? (vv. 2-8)
2. What it means
The people grumble because Jesus is staying with a sinner. What does Jesus answer about why he came? (vv. 7-10)
3. How I live it
Zacchaeus welcomed Jesus with joy and changed how he used his money. What could you change in how you use what you have?
