Senses in use

  1. Personal name identifying the man in the episode · dominant

    In Luke 19:2, the nominative singular form identifies the man named Zacchaeus, whom the APB renders as a chief tax collector and rich. In Luke 19:8, the same nominative singular form identifies the man who stood and spoke to the Lord; in Luke 19:5, the vocative singular form is used when Jesus addresses him, and the APB renders the address "Zacchaeus, hurry and come down."

In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB presents the name as "Zacchaeus" when introducing the man, when Jesus addresses him, and when reporting his speech. It confirms the episode's presentation rather than supplying a separate lexical rendering.
