1 Y HABIENDO entrado Jesús, iba pasando por Jericó;

2 Y he aquí un varón llamado Zaqueo, el cual era el principal de los publicanos, y era rico;

3 Y procuraba ver á Jesús quién fuese; mas no podía á causa de la multitud, porque era pequeño de estatura.

4 Y corriendo delante, subióse á un árbol sicómoro para verle; porque había de pasar por allí.

5 Y como vino á aquel lugar Jesús, mirando, le vió, y díjole: Zaqueo, date priesa, desciende, porque hoy es necesario que pose en tu casa.

6 Entonces él descendió apriesa, y le recibió gozoso.

7 Y viendo esto, todos murmuraban, diciendo que había entrado á posar con un hombre pecador.

8 Entonces Zaqueo, puesto en pie, dijo al Señor: He aquí, Señor, la mitad de mis bienes doy á los pobres; y si en algo he defraudado á alguno, lo vuelvo con el cuatro tanto.

9 Y Jesús le dijo: Hoy ha venido la salvación á esta casa; por cuanto él también es hijo de Abraham.

10 Porque el Hijo del hombre vino á buscar y á salvar lo que se había perdido.

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.
