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 uma figueira brava 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 com júbilo. 7 E, vendo todos isso, 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 em alguma 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 Zacchæus, 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 unto him, Zacchæus, make haste, and come down; for to day I must abide at thy 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 Zacchæus stood, and said unto 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 unto him, This day is salvation come to this house, forsomuch 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.
