New International Version NIV
1 And entering he walked through Jericho.
1
Jesus entered Jericho and was passing through.
2 And behold, there was a man named Zacheus, who was the chief of the publicans: 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 low of stature.
3
He wanted to see who Jesus was, but because he was short he could not see over the crowd.
4 And running before, he climbed up into a sycamore tree, that he might 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 was come to the place, looking up, he saw him and said to him: Zacheus, make haste and come down: for this day I must abide 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 when all saw it, they murmured, saying, that he was gone to be a guest with a man that was a sinner.
7
All the people saw this and began to mutter, “He has gone to be the guest of a sinner.”
