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.
10
For the Son of man is come to seek and to save that which was lost.
11
And as they heard these things, he added and spoke a parable because he was near to Jerusalem and because they thought that the kingdom of God should immediately be manifested.
12
He said therefore, A certain nobleman went into a far country to receive for himself a kingdom, and to return.
13
And having called ten of his slaves, he delivered them ten minas and said unto them, Trade until I come.
14
But his citizens hated him and sent an embassy after him, saying, We will not have this
man to reign over us.
15
And it came to pass that when he was returned, having received the kingdom, then he commanded these slaves to be called unto him, to whom he had given the money, that he might know how much each one had gained by trading.
