19:6

So Zacchaeus hurried down and welcomed Him joyfully: This clause tells the result of what Jesus said in 19:5: Zacchaeus came down immediately and welcomed Jesus to come to his home. Zacchaeus and Jesus probably went to Zacchaeus’ home together. Some other ways to translate this are:

Zacchaeus came down and was glad to welcome Jesus into his home. (God’s Word)
-or-
Zacchaeus quickly climbed down and took Jesus to his house in great excitement and joy. (New Living Translation (2004))

welcomed Him joyfully: The Greek phrase that the Berean Standard Bible translates as welcomed Him joyfully indicates that Zacchaeus received Jesus into his home with joy. Here is another way to translate this:

received him joyfully (Revised Standard Version)
