Luke 19:1-9

1 And Jesus entered and passed through Jericho.

2 And, behold , there was a man named * Zacchaeus, which * was the chief among the publicans, and he was rich.

3 And he sought to see Jesus who he was ; and could not for the press, because he was little of stature.

4 And he ran before, and climbed up into a sycomore tree to see him: for he was to pass * that way.

5 And when Jesus came to the place, he looked up , and saw him, and said unto him, Zacchaeus, make haste , and come down ; for to day I must abide at thy house.

6 And he made haste , and came down , and received him joyfully .

7 And when they saw it, they all murmured , saying , That he was gone to be guest with a man that is 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 taken any thing from any man by false accusation , I restore him fourfold.

9 And Jesus said unto him *, This day is salvation come to this house, forsomuch as he also is a son of Abraham.
