1 He entered Jericho and was passing through.

2 And there was a man named Zacchae'us; he was a chief tax collector, and rich.

3 And he sought to see who Jesus was, but could not, on account of the crowd, because he was small of stature.

4 So he ran on ahead and climbed up into a sycamore tree to see him, for he was to pass that way.

5 And when Jesus came to the place, he looked up and said to him, "Zacchae'us, make haste and come down; for I must stay at your house today."

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

7 And when they saw it they all murmured, "He has gone in to be the guest of a man who is a sinner."

8 And Zacchae'us stood and said to the Lord, "Behold, Lord, the half of my goods I give to the poor; and if I have defrauded any one of anything, I restore it fourfold."

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

10 For the Son of man came to seek and to save the lost."

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.
