1 And he entered and was passing through Jericho.
1
Jesus entered Jericho and was passing through.
2 And behold, a man called by name Zacchaeus; and he was a chief publican, 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 could not for the crowd, because he was little of stature.
3
He wanted to see who Jesus was, but because he was short he could not see over the crowd.
4 And he ran on before, and climbed up into a sycomore tree to see him: for he was 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 Jesus came to the place, he looked up, and said unto him, Zacchaeus, make haste, and come down; for to-day I must abide at 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 joyfully.
6
So he came down at once and welcomed him gladly.
7 And when they saw it, they all murmured, saying, He is gone in to lodge with a man that is a sinner.
7
All the people saw this and began to mutter, “He has gone to be the guest of a sinner.”
8 And Zacchaeus stood, and said unto the Lord, Behold, Lord, the half of my goods I give to the poor; and if I have wrongfully exacted aught of any man, I restore 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 unto him, To-day is salvation come to this house, forasmuch 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 came to seek and to save that which was lost.
10
For the Son of Man came to seek and to save the lost.”
