{Murmured} (diegogguzonto). Imperfect middle of this
compound onomatopoetic word dia-gogguz(935c). In Lu 5:30 we have
the simple gogguz(935c), a late word like the cooing doves or the
hum of bees. This compound with dia- is still rarer, but more
expressive. {To lodge} (katalusai). Jesus was the hero of this
crowd from Galilee on their way to the passover. But here he had
shocked their sensibilities and those of the people of Jericho by
inviting himself to be the guest of this chief publican and
notorious sinner who had robbed nearly everybody in the city by
exorbitant taxes.
