  1. Luke 19:8 The example of true repentance, is known by the effect.
  2. Luke 19:8 By falsely accusing any man: and this agreeth most fitly to the master of the customer’s person: for commonly they have this trade among them when they rob and spoil the commonweal, they have nothing in their mouths, but the profit of the commonweal, and under that color they play the thieves, insomuch that if men reprove and go about to redress their robbery, and spoiling, they cry out, the commonwealth is hindered.
  3. Luke 19:9 Beloved of God, one that walketh in the steps of Abraham’s faith: and we gather that salvation came to that house, because they received the blessing as Abraham had, for all of the household were circumcised.
