And he entered and was passing through Jericho.

2

And behold, a man called by name Zacchaeus and he was a chief publican, 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 on before, and climbed up into a sycomore tree to see him: for he was to pass that way.

5

And when Jesus came to the place, he looked up, and said unto him, Zacchaeus, 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, He is gone in to lodge with a man that is a sinner.

8

And Zacchaeus stood, and said unto the Lord, Behold, Lord, the half of my goods I give to the poor and if I have wrongfully exacted aught of any man, I restore fourfold.

9

And Jesus said unto him, To-day is salvation come to this house, forasmuch as he also is a son of Abraham.

10

For the Son of man came to seek and to save that which was lost.
