Context of Luke 19:6
4So Zacchaeus ran ahead and climbed a fig tree to see Jesus, who was coming that way. 5When Jesus came to the tree, he looked up and said, “Zacchaeus, come down! I must stay at your house today.” Zacchaeus came down and was glad to welcome Jesus into his home. 7But the people who saw this began to express disapproval. They said, “He went to be the guest of a sinner.” 8⌞Later, at dinner,⌟ Zacchaeus stood up and said to the Lord, “Lord, I’ll give half of my property to the poor. I’ll pay four times as much as I owe to those I have cheated in any way.”

- Adam Clarke Bible Commentary · v. 6Received him joyfully - He had now seen Who he was, and he wished to hear What he was; and therefore he rejoiced in the honor that God had now conferred upon him. How often does Christ make the proposal of lodging, not only in our house, but in our heart, without its being accepted!
