"The multitude give way, and Zacchaeus, walking as in a dream, leads the way toward his own home. But the rabbis look on with scowling faces, and murmur in discontent and scorn, “that He was gone to be guest with a man that is a sinner.” DA 554.1"
"And when they saw it, they all murmured, saying, That he was gone to be guest with a man that is a sinner."
The EGW passage directly alludes to the murmuring of the crowd about Jesus being a guest with a sinner, mirroring the language and sentiment in Luke 19:7.
"Zacchaeus had been overwhelmed, amazed, and silenced at the love and condescension of Christ in stooping to him, so unworthy. Now love and loyalty to his new-found Master unseal his lips. He will make public his confession and his repentance. DA 554.2"
"And Zaccheus stood, and said unto the Lord; Behold, Lord, the half of my goods I give to the poor; and if I have taken any thing from any man by false accusation, I restore him fourfold."
The EGW passage describes Zacchaeus's transformation and subsequent confession/repentance, which is directly illustrated by Luke 19:8. The thematic parallel is strong.
