SEV Biblia, Chapter 19:1
¶ Y habiendo entrado Jess , iba pasando por Jeric;
Clarke's Bible Commentary - Luke 19:1
Verse 1. Entered and passed through] Was passing through. Our Lord had not as yet passed through Jericho-he was only passing through it; for the house of Zaccheus, in which he was to lodge, ver. 5, was in it.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 1. And [Jesus] entered, and passed through Jericho .] Though the word Jesus is not in the original text it is rightly supplied in our version; as it is also in the Syriac, Persic, Ethiopic versions; for of him the words are manifestly spoken: after he had healed the blind man he met with near to Jericho, he entered into it, but made no stay in it, passed through it at once without stopping, though a very populous city; but here he had no work, either to perform miracles, or to convert sinners; though both, before he entered, and after he passed through it.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 1-10 - Those who sincerely desire a sight of Christ, like Zaccheus, will brea through opposition, and take pains to see him. Christ invited himsel to Zaccheus' house. Wherever Christ comes he opens the heart, an inclines it to receive him. He that has a mind to know Christ, shall be known of him. Those whom Christ calls, must humble themselves, and com down. We may well receive him joyfully, who brings all good with him Zaccheus gave proofs publicly that he was become a true convert. He does not look to be justified by his works, as the Pharisee; but by his good works he will, through the grace of God, show the sincerity of his faith and repentance. Zaccheus is declared to be a happy man, now he is turned from sin to God. Now that he is saved from his sins, from the guilt of them, from the power of them, all the benefits of salvatio are his. Christ is come to his house, and where Christ comes he bring salvation with him. He came into this lost world to seek and to sav it. His design was to save, when there was no salvation in any other He seeks those that sought him not, and asked not for him.

Vincent's NT Word Studies
1. Jericho. The city was close to the fords of the Jordan, on the frontier of Peraea, and on the richest plain of Palestine, abounding most in the choicest productions, especially balsam; and was, therefore, an appropriate seat for an officer of superior rank to preside over the collection of revenues. See on Matt. ix. 9; Luke iii. 12.
Robertson's NT Word Studies
19:1 {Was passing through} (dierceto). Imperfect middle. Now Jesus was inside the Roman Jericho with the procession.
