1
And
Jesus, having entered, was passing through Jericho;
2
and, behold, a man named Zacchaeus, who was the chief among the publicans, and he was rich.
3
And he sought to see who Jesus was and could not for the crowd because he was small of stature.
4
And running ahead, he climbed up into a sycamore 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 today 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
Then 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 saving health is come to this house, inasmuch as he also is a son of Abraham.
