Luke 19:3-13

New Century Version NCV

3 He wanted to see who Jesus was, but he was not able because he was too short to see above the crowd.

4 He ran ahead to a place where Jesus would come, and he climbed a sycamore tree so he could see him.

5 When Jesus came to that place, he looked up and said to him, "Zacchaeus, hurry and come down! I must stay at your house today."

6 Zacchaeus came down quickly and welcomed him gladly.

7 All the people saw this and began to complain, "Jesus is staying with a sinner!"

8 But Zacchaeus stood and said to the Lord, "I will give half of my possessions to the poor. And if I have cheated anyone, I will pay back four times more."

9 Jesus said to him, "Salvation has come to this house today, because this man also belongs to the family of Abraham.

10 The Son of Man came to find lost people and save them."

11 As the people were listening to this, Jesus told them a story because he was near Jerusalem and they thought God's kingdom would appear immediately.

12 He said: "A very important man went to a country far away to be made a king and then to return home.

13 So he called ten of his servants and gave a coinn to each servant. He said, 'Do business with this money until I get back.'

3 He wanted to see who Jesus was, but because he was short he could not see over the crowd.

4 So he ran ahead and climbed a sycamore-fig tree to see him, since Jesus was coming that way.

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 So he came down at once and welcomed him gladly.

7 All the people saw this and began to mutter, “He has gone to be the guest of a sinner.”

8 But Zacchaeus stood up and said to the Lord, “Look, Lord! Here and now I give half of my possessions to the poor, and if I have cheated anybody out of anything, I will pay back four times the amount.”

9 Jesus said to him, “Today salvation has come to this house, because this man, too, is a son of Abraham.

10 For the Son of Man came to seek and to save the lost.”

11 While they were listening to this, he went on to tell them a parable, because he was near Jerusalem and the people thought that the kingdom of God was going to appear at once.

12 He said: “A man of noble birth went to a distant country to have himself appointed king and then to return.

13 So he called ten of his servants and gave them ten minas.‘Put this money to work,’ he said, ‘until I come back.’
