1 E, tendo Jesus entrado em Jericó, ia passando.

2 E eis que havia ali um homem chamado Zaqueu; e era este um chefe dos publicanos, e era rico.

3 E procurava ver quem era Jesus, e não podia, por causa da multidão, pois era de pequena estatura.

4 E, correndo adiante, subiu a um sicômoro para o ver; porque havia de passar por ali.

5 E quando Jesus chegou àquele lugar, olhando para cima, viu-o e disse-lhe: Zaqueu, desce depressa, porque hoje me convém pousar em tua casa.

6 E, apressando-se, desceu, e recebeu-o alegremente.

7 E, vendo todos isto, murmuravam, dizendo que entrara para ser hóspede de um homem pecador.

8 E, levantando-se Zaqueu, disse ao Senhor: Senhor, eis que eu dou aos pobres metade dos meus bens; e, se nalguma coisa tenho defraudado alguém, o restituo quadruplicado.

9 E disse-lhe Jesus: Hoje veio a salvação a esta casa, pois também este é filho de Abraão.

10 Porque o Filho do homem veio buscar e salvar o que se havia perdido.

1 And Jesus entered and passed through Jericho.

2 And, behold, there was a man named Zacchaeus, which was the chief among the publicans, and he was rich.

3 And he sought to see Jesus who he was; and could not for the press, because he was little of stature.

4 And he ran 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 saw him, and said to him, Zacchaeus, make haste, and come down; for to day I must abide at your house.

6 And he made haste, and came down, and received him joyfully.

7 And when they saw it, they all murmured, saying, That he was gone to be guest with a man that is a sinner.

8 And Zacchaeus stood, and said to the Lord: Behold, Lord, the half of my goods I give to the poor; and if I have taken any thing from any man by false accusation, I restore him fourfold.

9 And Jesus said to him, This day is salvation come to this house, as much as he also is a son of Abraham.

10 For the Son of man is come to seek and to save that which was lost.
