1 E, tendo Jesus entrado em Jericó, ia passando.

2 E eis que havia ali um homem chamado Zaqueu; e era este um chefe dos publicanos, e era rico.

3 E procurava ver quem era Jesus, e não podia, por causa da multidão, pois era de pequena estatura.

4 E, correndo adiante, subiu a um sicômoro para o ver; porque havia de passar por ali.

5 E quando Jesus chegou àquele lugar, olhando para cima, viu-o e disse-lhe: Zaqueu, desce depressa, porque hoje me convém pousar em tua casa.

6 E, apressando-se, desceu, e recebeu-o alegremente.

7 E, vendo todos isto, murmuravam, dizendo que entrara para ser hóspede de um homem pecador.

8 E, levantando-se Zaqueu, disse ao Senhor: Senhor, eis que eu dou aos pobres metade dos meus bens; e, se nalguma coisa tenho defraudado alguém, o restituo quadruplicado.

9 E disse-lhe Jesus: Hoje veio a salvação a esta casa, pois também este é filho de Abraão.

10 Porque o Filho do homem veio buscar e salvar o que se havia perdido.

1 And having entered, he was passing through Jericho.

2 And behold, a man called by name, Zacchaeus. And he was a chief tax collector, and this man was rich.

3 And he sought to see Jesus, who he was. And he was not able because of the crowd, because his stature was small.

4 And having ran ahead, he climbed up in a sycomore tree so that he might see him, because he was going to pass that one.

5 And when Jesus came to the place, having looked up, he saw him, and said to him, Zacchaeus, after making haste, come down, for today I must lodge at thy house.

6 And having made haste, he came down and received him, rejoicing.

7 And all who saw murmured, saying, He went in to relax with a sinful man.

8 And having stood, Zacchaeus said to the Lord, Behold, half of the things possessed by me, Lord, I give to the poor. And if I defrauded any man of anything, I repay fourfold.

9 And Jesus said to him, Today salvation has come to this house, forasmuch as he also is a son of Abraham.

10 For the Son of man came to seek and to save that which was lost.
