Luke 19 : 1 - 10
1 | Then Jesus entered and passed through Jericho. |
2 | Now behold, there was a man named Zacchaeus who was a chief tax collector, and he was rich. |
3 | And he sought to see who Jesus was, but could not because of the crowd, for he was of short stature. |
4 | So he ran ahead and climbed up into a sycamore tree to see Him, for He was going to pass that way. |
5 | And when Jesus came to the place, He looked up and saw him, and said to him, "Zacchaeus, make haste and come down, for today I must stay at your house." |
6 | So he made haste and came down, and received Him joyfully. |
7 | But when they saw it, they all complained, saying, "He has gone to be a guest with a man who is a sinner." |
8 | Then Zacchaeus stood and said to the Lord, "Look, Lord, I give half of my goods to the poor; and if I have taken anything from anyone by false accusation, I restore fourfold." |
9 | And Jesus said to him, "Today salvation has come to this house, because he also is a son of Abraham; |
10 | for the Son of Man has come to seek and to save that which was lost." |
