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.
