Luke 19:1-7

MSG

NIV

1 Then Jesus entered and walked through Jericho.
1 Jesus entered Jericho and was passing through.
2 There was a man there, his name Zacchaeus, the head tax man and quite rich.
2 A man was there by the name of Zacchaeus; he was a chief tax collector and was wealthy.
3 He wanted desperately to see Jesus, but the crowd was in his way - he was a short man and couldn't see over the crowd.
3 He wanted to see who Jesus was, but because he was short he could not see over the crowd.
4 So he ran on ahead and climbed up in a sycamore tree so he could see Jesus when he came by.
4 So he ran ahead and climbed a sycamore-fig tree to see him, since Jesus was coming that way.
5 When Jesus got to the tree, he looked up and said, "Zacchaeus, hurry down. Today is my day to be a guest in your home."
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 Zacchaeus scrambled out of the tree, hardly believing his good luck, delighted to take Jesus home with him.
6 So he came down at once and welcomed him gladly.
7 Everyone who saw the incident was indignant and grumped, "What business does he have getting cozy with this crook?"
7 All the people saw this and began to mutter, “He has gone to be the guest of a sinner.”
