Luke 19:1–10

Zaccheus Is Saved

¹And He ^aentered Jericho and was passing through.

²And behold, there was a man called by the name of Zaccheus; he was a chief tax collector and he was rich.

³And Zaccheus was trying to see who Jesus was, and was unable because of the crowd, for he was small in stature.

⁴So he ran on before and climbed up into a ^1asycamore tree in order to see Him, for He was about to pass through that way.

⁵And when Jesus came to the place, He looked up and said to him, “Zaccheus, hurry and come down, for today I must stay at your house.”

⁶And he hurried and came down and received Him ¹gladly.

⁷And when they saw it, they all began to grumble, saying, “He has gone ¹to be the guest of a man who is a sinner.”

⁸But Zaccheus stopped and said to ^athe Lord, “Behold, half of my possessions, Lord, I ¹will give to the poor, and if I have ^bextorted anyone of anything, I ²will give back ^cfour times as much.”

⁹And Jesus said to him, “Today salvation has come to this house, because he, too, is ^aa son of Abraham.

¹⁰“For ^athe Son of Man has come to seek and to save the lost.”
