Luke 19 v 1-10



Zacchaeus the Tax Collector



1 Jesus entered Jericho and was passing through.



2 A man was there by the name of Zacchaeus; he was a chief tax collector and was wealthy.



3 He wanted to see who Jesus was, but because he was short he could not see over the crowd.



4 So he ran ahead and climbed a sycamore-fig tree to see him, since Jesus was coming that way.



5 When Jesus reached the spot, he looked up and said to him, “Zacchaeus, come down immediately. I must stay at your house today.”



6 So he came down at once and welcomed him gladly.



7 All the people saw this and began to mutter, “He has gone to be the guest of a sinner.”



8 But Zacchaeus stood up and said to the Lord, “Look, Lord! Here and now I give half of my possessions to the poor, and if I have cheated anybody out of anything, I will pay back four times the amount.”



9 Jesus said to him, “Today salvation has come to this house, because this man, too, is a son of Abraham.



10 For the Son of Man came to seek and to save the lost.”
