Exegesis
The aorist verb eisēlthen {εἰσῆλθε��� | ei-sél-then} ‘he entered’ presents His action as a completed whole, while the infinitive katalysai {καταλῦσαι | ka-ta-lý-sai} ‘to lodge’ expresses His intention of staying there rather than merely visiting. Together, these features underscore the tension between the crowd’s expectations of holiness and Jesus’ mission to embrace those labeled sinners.
In context — Luke 19:7
And when they saw it, all of them grumbled, saying, “He has gone in to lodge with a man who is a sinner .”
