Luke 19:1-10.
Luke 19:1-10 (Good News Translation)
1Jesus went on into Jericho and was passing through.
2There was a chief tax collector there named Zacchaeus, who was
rich.
3He was trying to see who Jesus was, but he was a little man
and could not see Jesus because of the crowd.
4So he ran ahead of the crowd and climbed a sycamore tree to
see Jesus, who was going to pass that way.
5When Jesus came to that place, he looked up and said to
Zacchaeus,
“Hurry down, Zacchaeus, because I must stay in your house
today.”
6Zacchaeus hurried down and welcomed him with great joy.
7All the people who saw it started grumbling,
“This man has gone as a guest to the home of a
sinner!”
8Zacchaeus stood up and said to the Lord,
“Listen, sir! I will give half my belongings to the poor,
and if I have cheated anyone, I will pay back four times as much.”
9Jesus said to him,
Salvation has come to this house today, for this man, also, is a
descendant of Abraham.
10The Son of Man came to seek and to save the lost.
