Exegesis
The apodosis apodidōmi tetraploun {ἀποδίδωμι τετραπλοῦν | a-po-dí-dō-mi te-tra-plûn} ‘I restore fourfold’ uses the present tense to express ongoing commitment to restitution while tetraploun intensifies the repayment. The structure moves from public posture to generous giving and then to overcompensating restitution, illustrating repentance enacted through economic action.
In context — Luke 19:8
And Zacchaeus stood and said to the Lord , “Behold, Lord, the half of my possessions I give to the poor , and if I have defrauded anyone by false accusation, I restore it fourfold.”
