Context of Luke 19:5
3He was trying to get a look at Jesus, but being a short man he could not see over the crowd. 4So he ran on ahead and climbed up into a sycamore tree to see him, because Jesus was going to pass that way. And when Jesus came to that place, he looked up and said to him, “Zacchaeus, come down quickly, because I must stay at your house today.” 6So he came down quickly and welcomed Jesus joyfully. 7And when the people saw it, they all complained, “He has gone in to be the guest of a man who is a sinner.”
