And entering he walked through Jericho.
2
And behold, there was a man named Zacheus, who was the chief of the publicans: and he was rich.
3
And he sought to see Jesus who he was: and he could not for the crowd, because he was low of stature.
4
And running before, he climbed up into a sycamore tree, that he might see him: for he was to pass that way.
5
And when Jesus was come to the place, looking up, he saw him and said to him: Zacheus, make haste and come down: for this day I must abide in thy house.
6
And he made haste and came down and received him with joy.
7
And when all saw it, they murmured, saying, that he was gone to be a guest with a man that was a sinner.
8
But Zacheus standing, said to the Lord: Behold, Lord, the half of my goods I give to the poor; and if I have wronged any man of any thing, I restore him fourfold.

Jesus said to him: This day is salvation come to this house, because he also is a son of Abraham.
