1 And having entered, He passed through Jericho.

2 And behold, there[ was] a man named Zacchaeus, and he was a chief tax collector, and this [man] was rich.

3 And he was trying to see who Jesus was, but could not because of the crowd, for he was of short stature.

4 And running up ahead in front, he went up into a sycamore tree so that he might see Him, because He was about to pass by that way.

5 And when He came upon that place, Jesus looked up and saw him, and said to him, "Zacchaeus, hurry and come down, for today I must stay in your house."

6 So he hurried and came down, and received Him, rejoicing.

7 But when they saw it, they all were complaining, saying, "He has gone to be a guest with a sinful man."

8 Then Zacchaeus stood and said to the Lord, "Look, Lord, I give half of my possessions to the poor; and if I have extorted anything from anyone, I restore fourfold."

9 And Jesus said to him, "Today salvation has come to this house, because he also is a son of Abraham;

10 for the Son of Man has come to seek and to save that which was lost."
