Luke 19:1-6

1 Yeshua entered Yericho and was passing through,
2 when a man named Zakkai appeared who was a chief tax-collector and a wealthy man.
3 He was trying to see who Yeshua was; but, being short, he couldn't, because of the crowd.
4 So he ran on ahead and climbed a fig tree in order to see him, for Yeshua was about to pass that way.
5 When he came to the place, he looked up and said to him, "Zakkai! Hurry! Come down, because I have to stay at your house today!"
6 He climbed down as fast as he could and welcomed Yeshua joyfully.
