5 And G2532 when G5613 Jesus G2424 came G2064 to G1909 the place, G5117 he looked up, G308 and saw G1492 him, G846 and G2532 said G2036 unto G4314 him, G846 Zacchaeus, G2195 make haste, G4692 and come down; G2597 for G1063 to day G4594 I G3165 must G1163 abide G3306 at G1722 thy G4675 house. G3624
6 And G2532 he made haste, G4692 and came down, G2597 and G2532 received G5264 him G846 joyfully. G5463
7 And G2532 when they saw G1492 it, they G1234 all G537 murmured, G1234 saying, G3004 That G3754 he was gone G1525 to be guest G2647 with G3844 a man G435 that is a sinner. G268
8 And G1161 Zacchaeus G2195 stood, G2476 and said G2036 unto G4314 the Lord; G2962 Behold, G2400 Lord, G2962 the half G2255 of my G3450 goods G5224 I give G1325 to the poor; G4434 and G2532 if G1536 I have taken G4811 any thing G1536 from any man G5100 by false accusation, G4811 I restore G591 him fourfold.

Commentary on Luke 19 Matthew Henry Commentary
Chapter 19
In this chapter we have,
Luk 19:1-10
Many, no doubt, were converted to the faith of Christ of whom no account is kept in the gospels; but the conversion of some, whose case had something in it extraordinary, is recorded, as this of Zaccheus. Christ passed through Jericho, v. 1. This city was build under a curse, yet Christ honoured it with his presence, for the gospel takes away the curse. Though it ought not to have been built, yet it was not therefore a sin to live in it when it was built. Christ was now going from the other side Jordan to Bethany near Jerusalem, to raise Lazarus to life; when he was going to do one good work he contrived to do many by the way. He did good both to the souls and to the bodies of people; we have here an instance of the former. Observe,
Luk 19:11-27
Our Lord Jesus is now upon his way to Jerusalem, to his last passover, when he was to suffer and die; now here we are told,
Luk 19:28-40
We have here the same account of Christ's riding in some sort of triumph (such as it was) into Jerusalem which we had before in Matthew and Mark; let us therefore here only observe,
Luk 19:41-48
The great Ambassador from heaven is here making his public entry into Jerusalem, not to be respected there, but to be rejected; he knew what a nest of vipers he was throwing himself into, and yet see here two instances of his love to that place and his concern for it.
