1 And he entered and was passing through Jericho.

2 And look, a man called by name Zacchaeus; and he was a chief publican, and he was rich.

3 And he sought to see Jesus who he was; and could not for the crowd, because he was little of stature.

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

5 And when he came to the place, Jesus looked up, and said to him, Zacchaeus, hurry, and come down; for today I must stay at your house.

6 And he hurried, and came down, and received him joyfully.

7 And when they saw it, they all murmured, saying, He has gone in to lodge with a man who is a sinner.

8 And Zacchaeus stood, and said to the Lord, Look, Lord, the half of my goods I give to the poor; and if I have wrongfully exacted anything of any man, I restore fourfold.

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

10 For the Son of Man came to seek and to save that which was lost.
