Luke 19: 1 - 10
|
| 1
|
He entered Jericho and was passing through.
|
| 2
|
And there was a man named Zacchae'us; he was a chief tax collector, and rich.
|
| 3
|
And he sought to see who Jesus was, but could not, on account of the crowd, because he was small of stature.
|
| 4
|
So he ran on ahead and climbed up into a sycamore tree to see him, for he was to pass that way.
|
| 5
|
And when Jesus came to the place, he looked up and said to him, "Zacchae'us, make haste and come down; for I must stay at your house today."
|
| 6
|
So he made haste and came down, and received him joyfully.
|
| 7
|
And when they saw it they all murmured, "He has gone in to be the guest of a man who is a sinner."
|
| 8
|
And Zacchae'us stood and said to the Lord, "Behold, Lord, the half of my goods I give to the poor; and if I have defrauded any one of anything, I restore it fourfold."
|
| 9
|
And Jesus said to him, "Today salvation has come to this house, since he also is a son of Abraham.
|
| 10
|
For the Son of man came to seek and to save the lost."
