¹ tn Grk “hastening, he came down.” σπεύσας (speusas) has been translated as a participle of manner.

² tn Grk “him”; the referent (Jesus) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

³ tn The participle χαίρων (cairwn) has been taken as indicating manner.

³ sn Zacchaeus responded joyfully. Luke likes to mention joy as a response to what God was doing (1:14; 2:10; 10:20; 13:17; 15:5, 32; 19:37; 24:41, 52).
