19:1. Jesus entered and walked through Jericho,

19:2. and behold, there was a man named Zacchaeus, who was the chief of the publicans, and he was rich.

19:3. He sought to see who Jesus was, and he could not because of the crowd, for he was low of stature.

19:4. Running ahead, he climbed up into a sycamore tree that he might see Jesus, for He was to pass that way.

19:5. When Jesus came to the place, looking up, He saw him and said to him: “Zacchaeus, make haste and come down, for this day I must abide in your house.”

19:6. He made haste and came down and received Him with joy.

19:7. When all saw it, they murmured, saying that He was going to be a guest with a man that was a sinner.

19:8. But Zacchaeus stood and said to the Lord, “Behold, Lord, the half of my goods I give to the poor, and if I have wronged any man of anything, I restore him fourfold.”

19:9. Jesus said to him, “This day salvation has come to this house, because he also is a son of Abraham.

19:10. “For the Son of man has come to seek and to save that which was lost.”
