Luke 19:5

Context
19:5 And when Jesus came to that place, he looked up 1  and said to him, “Zacchaeus, come down quickly, 2  because I must 3  stay at your house today.” 4 

1 tc Most mss (A [D] W [Ψ] Ë13 33vid Ï latt) read “Jesus looking up, saw him and said.” The words “saw him and” are not in א B L T Θ Ë1 579 1241 2542 pc co. Both the testimony for the omission and the natural tendency toward scribal expansion argue for the shorter reading here.

2 tn Grk “hastening, come down.” σπεύσας (speusa") has been translated as a participle of manner.

3 sn I must stay. Jesus revealed the necessity of his associating with people like Zacchaeus (5:31-32). This act of fellowship indicated acceptance.

4 sn On today here and in v. 9, see the note on today in 2:11.
