6 And he made haste, and came down, and received him joyfully.
Ver. 6. And he made haste and came down] Gilbert Foliot, Bishop of London, A. D. 1161, misliking much Archbishop Becket’s pride and obstinace, would often exhort him to humility in these words, Ad Zacchaeum non divertisset Dominus, nisi de sycomoro iam descendisset, i.e. Christ had never dined with Zacchaeus, had he not first yielded to come down from the sycamore tree.
