Luke 19:6 - Forerunner Commentary

Luke 19:6

4 So he ran ahead and climbed up into a sycamore tree to see Him, for He was going to pass that way.

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.”

The Parable of the Minas

11 Now as they heard these things, He spoke another parable, because He was near Jerusalem and because ^athey thought the kingdom of God would appear immediately.
