LUKE 19:9 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 0
“And Jesus said unto him, This day is salvation come to this house, forsomuch as he also is a son of Abraham.”
Jesus said to him, today salvation has come to this house, because this man, too, is a son of Abraham — today salvation has come to this house: the same today (sēmeron) as the Nazareth sermon (4:21) — the eschatological present of the kingdom's arrival. Salvation has come to the house: the house becomes the location of the salvation's arrival, exactly as Jesus promised he must stay there. Because this man, too, is a son of Abraham: the covenant identification — despite being a tax collector, Zacchaeus is claimed as a son of Abraham.
