Luke 19:1-7

1 And he went into Jericho, and when he was going through it,

1 Jesus entered Jericho and was passing through.

2 A man, named Zacchaeus, who was the chief tax-farmer, and a man of wealth,

2 A man was there by the name of Zacchaeus; he was a chief tax collector and was wealthy.

3 Made an attempt to get a view of Jesus, and was not able to do so, because of the people, for he was a small man.

3 He wanted to see who Jesus was, but because he was short he could not see over the crowd.

4 And he went quickly in front of them and got up into a tree to see him, for he was going 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 Jesus came to the place, looking up, he said to him, Zacchaeus, be quick and come down, for I am coming to your house today.

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 came down quickly, and took him into his house with joy.

6 So he came down at once and welcomed him gladly.

7 And when they saw it, they were all angry, saying, He has gone into the house of a sinner.

7 All the people saw this and began to mutter, “He has gone to be the guest of a sinner.”
