1 And, having entered, he was passing through Jericho;

2 and lo! a man, by name called Zacchaeus, and, he, was a chief tax-collector, and he was rich.

3 And he was seeking to see Jesus, what sort of man he was, and could not for the multitude, because, in stature, he was, small.

4 And, running forward unto the front, he got up a sycamore-tree, that he might see him; for, by that way, was he about to pass.

5 And, as he came up to the place, looking up, Jesus said unto himZacchaeus! make haste, and come down; For, to-day, in thy house, I must needs abide.

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

7 And all, when they beheld, began to murmur, sayingWith a sinful man, hath he gone in to lodge!

8 But, taking his stand, Zacchaeus said unto the LordLo! the half of my possessions, Lord, unto the destitute, I give; and, if, from anyone, I have taken aught by false accusation, I give back fourfold.

9 And Jesus said unto himThis day, salvation, unto this house, hath come,for that, he too, is, a son of Abraham;

10 For the Son of Man came, to seek and to save what was lost.
