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.”
