Luke 19:4

And he ran before, and climbed up into a sycomore tree to see him: for he was to pass that [way].

And {G2532} he ran {G4390} before {G1715}, and climbed up {G305} into {G1909} a sycomore tree {G4809} to {G2443} see {G1492} him {G846}: for {G3754} he was {G3195} to pass {G1330}{G1223} that {G1565} way.

So he ran on ahead and climbed a fig tree in order to see him, for Yeshua was about to pass that way.

So he ran on ahead and climbed a sycamore tree to see Him, since Jesus was about to pass that way.

And he ran on before, and climbed up into a sycomore tree to see him: for he was to pass that way.
