Luke 19:7 - Forerunner Commentary

Luke 19:7

5 And when Jesus came to the place, He looked up¹ and saw him, and said to him, “Zacchaeus, make haste and come down, for today I must stay at your house.”

6 So he¹ made haste and came down, and received Him joyfully.

7 But when they saw it, they all¹ complained, saying, ^a“He has gone to be a guest with a man who is a sinner.”

8 Then Zacchaeus stood and said to the Lord, “Look, Lord, I give half of my goods to the ^apoor; and if I have taken anything from anyone by ^bfalse accusation, ^cI restore fourfold.”

9 And Jesus said to him, “Today salvation has come to this house, because ^ahe also is ^ba son of Abraham;

10 ^afor the Son of Man has come to seek and to save that which was lost.”
