“And he ran before, and climbed up into a sycomore tree to see him: for he was to pass that way.”
So he ran ahead and climbed a sycamore-fig tree to see him, since Jesus was coming that way — ran ahead and climbed a sycamore-fig tree: the undignified response of a wealthy official — running and tree-climbing were not the behaviors of prosperous men. The detail communicates the desperation of his desire to see Jesus.
