Context of Luke 19:5
3He was trying to see who Jesus was, but he was not able because of the crowd, since he was a short man. 4So running ahead, he climbed up a sycamore tree to see Jesus, since he was about to pass that way. When Jesus came to the place, he looked up and said to him, “Zacchaeus, hurry and come down because today it is necessary for me to stay at your house.” 6So he quickly came down and welcomed him joyfully. 7All who saw it began to complain, “He’s gone to stay with a sinful man.”
