========================
Luke 19:1-10
========================
1Jesus entered
2A man was there by the name
of Zacchaeus; he was a chief tax collector and was wealthy.
3He wanted to see who Jesus
was, but because he was short he could not see over the crowd.
4So he ran ahead and climbed
a sycamore-fig tree to see him, since Jesus was coming that way.
5When Jesus reached the spot,
he looked up and said to him, “Zacchaeus, come down immediately. I must stay at
your house today.”
6So he came down at once and
welcomed him gladly.
7All the people saw this and
began to mutter, “He has gone to be the guest of a sinner.”
8But Zacchaeus stood up and
said to the Lord, “Look, Lord! Here and now I give half of my possessions to
the poor, and if I have cheated anybody out of anything, I will pay back four
times the amount.”
9Jesus said to him, “Today
salvation has come to this house, because this man, too, is a son of Abraham.
10For the Son of Man came to seek
and to save the lost.”
