A.T. Robertson Commentary Luke 19:6

"And he made haste, and came down, and received him joyfully." — Luke 19:6 (ASV)

He made haste and came down (σπευσας κατεβη). Luke repeats the very words of Jesus with the same idiom.

Received him joyfully (υπεδεξατο αυτον χαιρων). The very verb used of Martha's welcome to Jesus (10:38). "Joyfully" is the present active participle, "rejoicing" (χαιρων).
