1 Jésus, étant entré dans Jéricho, traversait la ville.

2 Et voici, un homme riche, appelé Zachée, chef des publicains,

3 cherchait à voir qui était Jésus; mais il ne pouvait y parvenir, à cause de la foule, car il était de petite taille.

4 Il courut en avant, et monta sur un sycomore pour le voir, parce qu'il devait passer par là.

5 Lorsque Jésus fut arrivé à cet endroit, il leva les yeux et lui dit: Zachée, hâte-toi de descendre; car il faut que je demeure aujourd'hui dans ta maison.

6 Zachée se hâta de descendre, et le reçut avec joie.

7 Voyant cela, tous murmuraient, et disaient: Il est allé loger chez un homme pécheur.

8 Mais Zachée, se tenant devant le Seigneur, lui dit: Voici, Seigneur, je donne aux pauvres la moitié de mes biens, et, si j'ai fait tort de quelque chose à quelqu'un, je lui rends le quadruple.

9 Jésus lui dit: Le salut est entré aujourd'hui dans cette maison, parce que celui-ci est aussi un fils d'Abraham.

10 Car le Fils de l'homme est venu chercher et sauver ce qui était perdu.

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.
