Context of Luke 19:6

4So he ran on ahead and climbed up into a sycamore tree to see him, because Jesus was going to pass that way. 5And 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.” So 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.” 8But Zacchaeus stopped and said to the Lord, “Look, Lord, half of my possessions I now give to the poor, and if I have cheated anyone of anything, I am paying back four times as much!”
