Luke 19:1-10 (GNT)
1
Jesus went on into Jericho and was passing through. 2 There was a
chief tax collector there named Zacchaeus, who was rich. 3 He was trying
to see who Jesus was, but he was a little man and could not see Jesus because of
the crowd. 4 So he ran ahead of the crowd and climbed a sycamore tree
to see Jesus, who was going to pass that way.
5 When Jesus came to that place, he looked up and said to
Zacchaeus, “Hurry down, Zacchaeus, because I must stay in your house
today.”
6 Zacchaeus hurried down and welcomed Him with great joy. 7 All the people who saw it started grumbling, “This Man has gone as a Guest to the home of a sinner!”
8 Zacchaeus stood up and said to the Lord, “Listen, sir! I will give half my belongings to the poor, and if I have cheated anyone, I will pay back four times as much.”
9 Jesus said to him, “Salvation has come to this house today, for this man, also, is a descendant of Abraham. 10 The Son of Man came to seek and to save the lost.”
