Luke 19:4

Context
19:4 So 1  he ran on ahead and climbed up into a sycamore tree 2  to see him, because Jesus 3  was going to pass that way.

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

2 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).

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