Luke 19:9

9 Then ^{▼▼ Here καί (kai) has been translated as “then” to indicate the implied sequence of events within the narrative} Jesus said to him, “Today salvation ^{▼▼ This is one of the few uses of the specific term salvation in Luke (1:69, 71, 77), though the concept runs throughout the Gospel.} has come to this household, ^{▼▼ The household is not a reference to the building, but to the people who lived within it (L&N 10.8).} because he too is a son of Abraham! ^{▼▼ Zacchaeus was personally affirmed by Jesus as a descendant (son) of Abraham and a member of God’s family.}
