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 having entered, he was passing through Jericho,
2 and lo, a man, by name called Zaccheus, and he was a chief tax-gatherer, and he was rich,
3 and he was seeking to see Jesus, who he is, and was not able for the multitude, because in stature he was small,
4 and having run forward before, he went up on a sycamore, that he may see him, because through that [way] he was about to pass by.
5 And as Jesus came up to the place, having looked up, he saw him, and said unto him, Zaccheus, having hastened, come down, for to-day in thy house it behoveth me to remain;
6 and he having hastened did come down, and did receive him rejoicing;
7 and having seen [it], they were all murmuring, saying -- With a sinful man he went in to lodge!
8 And Zaccheus having stood, said unto the Lord, Lo, the half of my goods, sir, I give to the poor, and if of any one anything I did take by false accusation, I give back fourfold.
9 And Jesus said unto him -- To-day salvation did come to this house, inasmuch as he also is a son of Abraham;
10 for the Son of Man came to seek and to save the lost.
