Luke 19:4

19:4 So he ran on ahead and climbed up into a sycamore tree to see him, because Jesus was going to pass that way.

tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “so” to indicate the implied result of Zacchaeus not being able to see over the crowd.

sn A sycamore tree would have large branches near the ground like an oak tree and would be fairly easy to climb. These trees reach a height of some 50 ft (about 15 m).

tn Grk “that one”; the referent (Jesus) has been specified in the translation for clarity.
