And Jesus said unto him,
This day is salvation come to this house, since he also is a son of Abraham.
All Commentaries on Luke 19:9 Go To Luke 19

Zacheus is here styled a son of Abraham; i.e. his spiritual son, a partaker of the promises made to Abraham concerning the Messias: not that he was actually born of his seed, but because he imitated his faith; and as Abraham at the voice of God, left the land and house of his father; so Zacheus renounced his goods and possessions, by giving them to the poor. (Ven. Bede)
