Luke 19:4 in context

The verses around it, from Luke 19.

1 Then Jesus entered Jericho and was passing through.

2 And there was a man named Zacchaeus, a chief tax collector, who was very wealthy.

3 He was trying to see who Jesus was, but could not see over the crowd because he was small in stature.

4 So he ran on ahead and climbed a sycamore tree to see Him, since Jesus was about to pass that way.

5 When Jesus came to that place, He looked up and said, “Zacchaeus, hurry down, for I must stay at your house today.”

6 So Zacchaeus hurried down and welcomed Him joyfully.

7 And all who saw this began to grumble, saying, “He has gone to be the guest of a sinful man!”

8 But Zacchaeus stood up and said to the Lord, “Look, Lord, half of my possessions I give to the poor, and if I have cheated anyone, I will repay it fourfold.”
