Context of Luke 19:5
3He wanted to see who Jesus was, but because he was short he could not see over the crowd. 4So he ran ahead and climbed a sycamore-fig tree to see him, since Jesus was coming that way. When Jesus reached the spot, he looked up and said to him, “Zacchaeus, come down immediately. I must stay at your house today.” 6So he came down at once and welcomed him gladly. 7All the people saw this and began to mutter, “He has gone to be the guest of a sinner.”

- Barnes’ Notes on the Bible · v. 5Abide at thy house - Remain there, or put up with him. This was an honor which Zacchaeus did not expect.
