Exegesis
The aorist participle anablepsas {ἀναβλέψας | anablépsas} ‘having looked up’ precedes the main verb eipen {εἶπεν | eipen} ‘he said’ and is nominative masculine singular, agreeing with the subject ho Iesous {ὁ Ἰησοῦς | ho Iēsoûs}. This participle indicates prior action, showing that the looking up is the basis for the ensuing speech.
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 .”
