Context of Luke 19:10

8Later, Zacchaeus stood up in front of everyone. He said to the Lord Jesus, ‘Listen, Master! I will give half of all the things that I have to poor people. I may have taken too much money from some people. I will give back to them four times as much as I took from them wrongly.’ 9Jesus said to him, ‘Today God has saved people in this home. Now Zacchaeus also belongs to the family of Abraham. I, the Son of Man, came to look for people who are far away from God. They are in danger and I have come to save them.’ 11While the people were still listening, Jesus told them a story. He did this because the people had wrong thoughts. He was now getting near to Jerusalem. So the people with him were thinking that God would begin to rule his people immediately. 12Jesus said to them, ‘An important man left his home and he travelled a long way to another country. There he would receive authority to rule his own country. After that, he would return home and he would be king.
