Context of Luke 19:9

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.’ 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.’ Jesus said to him, ‘Today God has saved people in this home. Now Zacchaeus also belongs to the family of Abraham. 10I, 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.

• Adam Clarke Bible Commentary · v. 9Jesus said unto him - Bishop Pearce observes: "Probably Luke wrote , not , said unto them, i.e. to those who had before called Zaccheus a sinner; ( Luke 19:7;); for Jesus here speaks of Zaccheus in the third person, he also is a son of Abraham, and therefore he was not then speaking to him."
