Context of Luke 19:5
3He was trying to see who Jesus was. There was a big crowd there and he was a small man. So he could not see Jesus. 4He ran on in front of the crowd and he climbed up a tree. He could see Jesus more easily from the tree, because Jesus would walk along that way. When Jesus came to the tree, he looked up at Zacchaeus. He said to him, ‘Zacchaeus, come down quickly. Today I must stay in your home.’ 6So Zacchaeus came down immediately and took Jesus into his home. He was very happy about this. 7The people saw what had happened. They were not happy, and they were saying, ‘Jesus has gone to stay in the home of a man that does bad things.’
