Luke 19:1-6

1 Then Jesus entered and walked through Jericho.

2 There was a man there, his name Zacchaeus, the head tax man and quite rich.

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.

4 So he ran on ahead and climbed up in a sycamore tree so he could see Jesus when he came by.

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."

6 Zacchaeus scrambled out of the tree, hardly believing his good luck, delighted to take Jesus home with him.
