The Darby Translation DBY
New International Version NIV
1 And he entered and passed through Jericho.
1
Jesus entered Jericho and was passing through.
2 And behold, [there was] a man by name called Zacchaeus, and he was chief tax-gatherer, and he was rich.
2
A man was there by the name of Zacchaeus; he was a chief tax collector and was wealthy.
3 And he sought to see Jesus who he was: and he could not for the crowd, because he was little in stature.
3
He wanted to see who Jesus was, but because he was short he could not see over the crowd.
4 And running on before, he got up into a sycamore that he might see him, for he was going to pass that [way].
4
So he ran ahead and climbed a sycamore-fig tree to see him, since Jesus was coming that way.
5 And when he came up to the place, Jesus looked up and saw him, and said to him, Zacchaeus, make haste and come down, for to-day I must remain in thy house.
5
When Jesus reached the spot, he looked up and said to him, “Zacchaeus, come down immediately. I must stay at your house today.”
6 And he made haste and came down, and received him with joy.
6
So he came down at once and welcomed him gladly.
7 And all murmured when they saw [it], saying, He has turned in to lodge with a sinful man.
7
All the people saw this and began to mutter, “He has gone to be the guest of a sinner.”
8 But Zacchaeus stood and said to the Lord, Behold, Lord, the half of my goods I give to the poor, and if I have taken anything from any man by false accusation, I return [him] fourfold.
8
But Zacchaeus stood up and said to the Lord, “Look, Lord! Here and now I give half of my possessions to the poor, and if I have cheated anybody out of anything, I will pay back four times the amount.”
9 And Jesus said to him, To-day salvation is come to this house, inasmuch as he also is a son of Abraham;
9
Jesus said to him, “Today salvation has come to this house, because this man, too, is a son of Abraham.
10 for the Son of man has come to seek and to save that which is lost.
10
For the Son of Man came to seek and to save the lost.”
