Exegesis
The direct address Zakchaie {Ζακχαῖε | Zakkhaîe} in the vocative foregrounds Zacchaeus, and the participle speusas {σπεύσας | speúsas} ‘having hurried’ combined with the imperative katabethi {κατάβηθι | katábēthi} ‘come down’ creates an urgency: the participle functions almost adverbially, modifying the manner in which the command is to be carried out.
In context — Luke 19:5
And as Jesus came to the place, having looked up, He said to him, “Zacchaeus, hurry and come down, for today it is necessary for Me to stay at your house .”
