SEV Biblia, Chapter 15:1

¶ Y se llegaban a l todos los publicanos y pecadores a oírle.

Clarke's Bible Commentary - Luke 15:1

Verse 1.
Publicans and sinners] telwnai kai amartwloi, tax- gatherers and heathens; persons who neither believed in Christ nor in Moses. See the note on chap. vii. 36. Concerning the tax-gatherers, see the note on Matt. v. 46.

John Gill's Bible Commentary

Ver. 1. Then drew near to him , etc.] To Jesus, as the Persic and Ethiopic versions express it: this was on the
sabbath day, and either when he was in the Pharisee's house, where he was invited to dinner, ( Luke 14:1) or rather when he came out of it, when the multitude, who could not come near him whilst there, took the opportunity of gathering about him; even all the publicans and sinners ; whom the Pharisee would not admit into his house, it being contrary to their traditions to eat, and drink, and converse with persons of such an infamous character; (see Gill on Matthew 9:10) (see Gill on Matthew 9:11) The word all is omitted in the Vulgate Latin, Syriac, Persic, and Ethiopic versions; but the Arabic version has it, and the Greek copies; and signifies that there were a very large number of them, even all that were in that place, and in the adjacent cities and towns, that got together for to hear him , or from him, as the Arabic version; or doctrine from him, as the Persic version adds: these having heard much of him; and it may be, might be under some remorse of conscience on account of their vicious lives, came to hear him preach.

Matthew Henry Commentary

Verses 1-10 - The
parable of the lost sheep is very applicable to the great work of man's redemption. The lost sheep represents the sinner as departed from God, and exposed to certain ruin if not brought back to him, yet no desirous to return. Christ is earnest in bringing sinners home. In the parable of the lost piece of silver, that which is lost, is one piece of small value compared with the rest. Yet the woman seeks diligentl till she finds it. This represents the various means and methods God makes use of to bring lost souls home to himself, and the Saviour's jo on their return to him. How careful then should we be that ou repentance is unto salvation!

Robertson's NT Word Studies

15:1 {All the
publicans and sinners} (pantes hoi telwnai kai hoi hamartwloi). The two articles separate the two classes (all the publicans and the sinners). They are sometimes grouped together (#5:30; Mt 9:11), but not here. The publicans are put on the same level with the outcasts or sinners. So in verse #2 the repeated article separates Pharisees and scribes as not quite one. The use of "all" here may be hyperbole for very many or the reference may be to these two classes in the particular place where Jesus was from time to time. {Were drawing near unto him} (esan autwi eggizontes). Periphrastic imperfect of eggizw, from eggus (near), late verb. {For to hear} (akouein). Just the present active infinitive of purpose.
