(Luke 19:1-10)
1 Then Jesus entered and passed through Jericho.
2 Now behold, there was a man named Zacchaeus who was a
chief tax collector, and he was rich.
3 And he sought to see who Jesus was, but could not
because of the crowd, for he was of short stature.
4 So he ran ahead and climbed up into a sycamore tree to
see Him, for He was going to pass that way.
5 And when Jesus came to the place, He looked up and saw
him, and said to him, "Zacchaeus, make haste and
come down, for today I must stay at your house."
6 So he made haste and came down, and received Him
joyfully.
7 But when they saw it, they all complained, saying,
"He has gone to be a guest with a man who is a
sinner."
8 Then Zacchaeus stood and said to the Lord, "Look,
Lord, I give half of my goods to the poor; and if I have
taken anything from anyone by false accusation, I restore
fourfold."
9 And Jesus said to him, "Today salvation has come
to this house, because he also is a son of Abraham;
10 "for the Son of Man has come to seek and to save
that which was lost."
(NKJV)
