1
And [Jesus] entered and passed through Jericho.
2
And behold, [there was] a man named Zaccheus, who 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 crowd, because he was little of stature.
4
And he ran before, and climbed up upon 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 to him, Zaccheus, 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 Zaccheus stood, and said to 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] four-fold.
9
And Jesus said to him, This day is salvation come to this house, forasmuch 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.
