1 Entrando em Jericó, atravessava Jesus a cidade. 2 Eis que um homem, chamado Zaqueu, maioral dos publicanos e rico, 3 procurava ver quem era Jesus, mas não podia, por causa da multidão, por ser ele de pequena estatura. 4 Então, correndo adiante, subiu a um sicômoro a fim de vê-lo, porque por ali havia de passar. 5 Quando Jesus chegou àquele lugar, olhando para cima, disse-lhe: Zaqueu, desce depressa, pois me convém ficar hoje em tua casa. 6 Ele desceu a toda a pressa e o recebeu com alegria. 7 Todos os que viram isto murmuravam, dizendo que ele se hospedara com homem pecador. 8 Entrementes, Zaqueu se levantou e disse ao Senhor: Senhor, resolvo dar aos pobres a metade dos meus bens; e, se nalguma coisa tenho defraudado alguém, restituo quatro vezes mais. 9 Então, Jesus lhe disse: Hoje, houve salvação nesta casa, pois que também este é filho de Abraão. 10 Porque o Filho do Homem veio buscar e salvar o perdido.

1 And Jesus entered and passed through Jericho.

2 And, behold, there was a man named Zacchaeus, 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 to him, Zacchaeus, make haste, and come down; for to day I must abide at your 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 Zacchaeus stood, and said to 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 to him, This day is salvation come to this house, as much 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.
