1 He entered and was passing through Jericho. 2 There was a man named Zacchaeus. He was a chief tax collector, and he was rich. 3 He was trying to see who Jesus was, and couldn’t because of the crowd, because he was short. 4 He ran on ahead and climbed up into a sycamore tree to see him, for he was going to pass that way. 5 When Jesus came to the place, he looked up and saw him, and said to him, "Zacchaeus, hurry and come down, for today I must stay at your house." 6 He hurried, came down, and received him joyfully. 7 When they saw it, they all murmured, saying, "He has gone in to lodge with a man who is a sinner."

8 Zacchaeus stood and said to the Lord, "Behold, Lord, half of my goods I give to the poor. If I have wrongfully exacted anything of anyone, I restore four times as much."

9 Jesus said to him, "Today, salvation has come to this house, because he also is a son of Abraham. 10 For the Son of Man came to seek and to save that which was 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.
