Jesus enered Jericho and was passing through. A man was there by the name if Zacchaus; he was a chief tax collector and was wealthy.He wanted to see who Jesus was, but because he was short he could not see over the crowd. So he ran ahead
and climbed a sycamore-fig tree to see him, since Jesus was coming that way.
When Jesus reached the spot, he looked up and said to him, " Zacchaeus, come down immediately. I must stay at your house today. " So he came down at once and welcomed him gladly.
All the people saw this and began to mutter, " He has gone to be the guest of a sinner. "
But Zacchaeus stood up and said to the Lord, " Look, Lord! Here and now I give half of my possessions to the poor, and if I have cheated anybody out of anything, I will pay back four times the amount. "
Jesus said to him, " Today salvation has come to this house, because this man, too, is a son of Abraham. For the Son of Man came to seek and to save the lost. "
