Luke 19:1–10

¹And having entered, he was passing through Jericho, ²and lo, a man, by name called Zaccheus, and he was a chief tax-gatherer, and he was rich, ³and he was seeking to see Jesus, who he is, and was not able for the multitude, because in stature he was small, ⁴and 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. ⁵And 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;’ ⁶and he having hastened did come down, and did receive him rejoicing; ⁷and having seen it, they were all murmuring, saying—‘With a sinful man he went in to lodge!’ ⁸And 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.’ ⁹And Jesus said unto him—‘To-day salvation did come to this house, inasmuch as he also is a son of Abraham; ¹⁰for the Son of Man came to seek and to save the lost.’
