1 And 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.’
