Blessed Theophylact of Ochrid
He rebukes not only this man, but everyone who lacks faith, even the bystanders. By saying, “How, long shall I be with you?” Christ shows that He longs for the Passion upon the Cross and His departure from them.

St. Theophylact of Ochrid
For the Son of Man is come to seek and to save that which was lost. The Lord seizes the mightiest of the devil’s vessels and destroys his cities. See how the Lord not only makes publicans His disciples, but He even takes prisoner—in order to save him—the chief of publicans, Zacchaeus.
