This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
13. μηδὲν πλέον … πράσσετε. The verb πράσσω (like πρᾶξις, see Luk 23:51; Col 3:9, &c.) is often used in a bad sense (Luk 23:41; Joh 3:2, &c.). The immodestia (i.e. the extravagant greed) of the publicans was their habitual sin, and later historians often allude to their cruel exactions (Caes. Bell. Civ. III. 32). The cheating and meddling for which Zacchaeus promised fourfold restoration (Luk 19:8) were universal among them.
