1 En Hy het in J,rigo gekom en daar deurgegaan.
2 En daar was 'n man met die naam van Sagg,Âs, 'n hoof van die tollenaars en 'n ryk man.
3 En hy het probeer om Jesus te sien, wie Hy was; maar vanweë die skare kon hy nie, omdat hy klein van persoon was.
4 En hy het vooruit gehardloop en in 'n wildevyeboom geklim, sodat hy Hom kon sien, want Hy sou daarlangs verbygaan.
5 En toe Jesus by die plek kom, kyk Hy op en sien hom en sê vir hom: Sagg,Âs, maak gou en klim af, want Ek moet vandag in jou huis bly.
6 Hy maak toe gou en klim af en het Hom met blydskap ontvang.
7 En toe almal dit sien, het hulle gemurmureer en gesê: Hy het by 'n sondige man tuisgegaan.
8 Maar Sagg,Âs het gaan staan en aan die Here gesê: Here, kyk, die helfte van my goed gee ek vir die armes; en as ek van iemand iets afgepers het, gee ek dit vierdubbel terug.
9 Toe sê Jesus aan hom: Vandag het daar redding vir hierdie huis gekom, aangesien hierdie man ook 'n seun van Abraham is.
10 Want die Seun van die mens het gekom om te soek en te red wat verlore was.
1 And Jesus entered and passed through Jericho. 2 And, behold, there was a man named Zacchæus, which was the chief among the publicans, and he was rich. 3 And he sought to see Jesus who he was; and could not for the press, because he was little of stature. 4 And he ran before, and climbed up into a sycomore tree to see him: for he was to pass that way. 5 And when Jesus came to the place, he looked up, and saw him, and said unto him, Zacchæus, make haste, and come down; for to day I must abide at thy house. 6 And he made haste, and came down, and received him joyfully. 7 And when they saw it, they all murmured, saying, That he was gone to be guest with a man that is a sinner. 8 And Zacchæus stood, and said unto the Lord; Behold, Lord, the half of my goods I give to the poor; and if I have taken any thing from any man by false accusation, I restore him fourfold. 9 And Jesus said unto him, This day is salvation come to this house, forsomuch as he also is a son of Abraham. 10 For the Son of man is come to seek and to save that which was lost.
